In the early morning hours of November 25, 2023 at UPMC Montefiore Hospital a beautiful soul traded this world for her eternal paradise. Mattie Lou (Rawley) Snow Stevenson affectionately known as Mat Lou, Shoe, Gumby, or Granny took the hand of Our Heavenly Father to hear the words, "well done thy good and faithful servant. " Mattie was the 5th of 9 children born to James and Jessie (King) Rawley on January 28, 1929 in Mt. Airy (Mayberry) NC. She was educated in Surry County at J. J. Jones Schools. In her 94 years, she had many jobs, which included cooking in the lunchroom at one of the local schools in Mt. Airy, being a housekeeper, working in the textile industry at Renfro Stock Factory, and after moving to Coraopolis, working as a cook at Islay's, maintenance at the Old Pittsburgh International Airport, and Fisher Scientific as a Tool Room Attendant until Retirement.

Having grown up at Stewarts Creek "Old Hollow" Primitive Baptist Church, Mattie loved The Lord and on December 28, 1980 gave her life to Christ, was baptized on the same Sunday, and became a faithful member of Mt. Olive Baptist Church of Coraopolis. She loved her church family and was known for her warm, welcoming smiles, encouraging words, and her delicious Pound Cakes. Unfortunately, in more recent years, her health became an issue so she was not able to attend as much. But when she did, everyone wanted to say hello, get a hug or kiss, take pictures, or just to sit and visit with Mother Stevenson. Mattie was preceded in death by her husbands Otis Stevenson and John Snow, Sr. , parents James and Jessie Rawley, Mother-in-law Bertha Snow Norman, two children, Glenda Jacobs and an infant son Baby Boy Snow, daughter-in-law Ethel Snow, step-children Paul Stevenson and Regina McDuffy, grandson Ashton Jacobs, great-grandson Paul Walker, two brothers, Grandville Rawley, Sr. and William Rawley, Sr. , five sisters, Mary Cropps, Annette Cropps, Altin Reynolds, Frances Smith, Gracie Rawley as well as several brothers and sisters-in-law.

Paul "PJ" Branagan passed away at his home in Coraopolis PA on Nov 19, 2023 at the age of 60. Paul was preceded in death by his loving wife, Robin, who passed away in 2006. Paul was also preceded in death by his father Paul Branagan and his mother Jayne Redshaw Branagan. "PJ" as he was known to those who knew him best, was a 1981 graduate of Montour High School and the Community College of Allegheny County. He was a true craftsman who worked for many years as a Carpenter in the construction field. PJ could repair or build just about anything and was an artisan when it came to working with wood. For the past 15 years he was an Independent Contractor specializing in renovations and restorations. He was a member of the Carpenters Union for 33 years and had just recently retired on Sept 1, 2023. In retirement he was looking forward to spending more time with his pride and joy, his son Paul Branagan II. They were best buddies who shared laughs over corny jokes and had many highly competitive games of chess. PJ loved watching "Paulie" play football at Cornell HS and at Clarion University. He was proud of the man his son had become and his many professional accomplishments. PJ was drawn to water. He loved to fish and swim and could spend many hours sitting by the edge of the river just watching the water flow past. He loved his trips to the beach with his son where they would play in the surf like little kids. PJ also loved his dogs, Seymour and Maisy. He spent many happy hours hiking and taking long walks with his beloved pets. He rescued both of his "best friends" but in reality, they rescued him with their undying devotion. Watching Steeler games was another favorite pastime for PJ. He would cheer and yell trying to will them to another victory. He would text his sisters during the game to share his excitement or frustration. The games won't be the same without him. PJ is also survived by his sisters, Jennifer Watt, Patricia Montgomery and Beth Branagan, along with nephews Bryan Watt and Dennis Watt, and niece Sarah Branagan. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews from his wife's family; Colin Ihrig, Rachel, Rick, and Melissa Wickline, Linsey, John, Hannah and Ben DeLouis. He was well loved by all.
