JAMES MAWHINNEY Obituary
Age 69, passed away surrounded by family in Charleston, SC, on February 26, 2017, after a long battle with cancer. Jim was born in Elizabeth, NJ, to Elizabeth Laube and the late James III. He studied engineering at Penn State, and had a long, successful career as a mechanical engineer at Heinz. He was a loyal Penn State, Steelers and Pirates fan, an appreciator of sports cars and motorcycles, a history buff, a hobbyist who loved to work with his hands- woodworking and making models - and a man who treasured a nice day at the beach. Jim is survived by his wife, Diana; children, James V (Jody), Ida D. Rosenbrook (Scott), and Elizabeth Carlson (Joe); grandchildren, Andrew, Jacob, Samuel, Ida L., Gretchen, and Mary; sisters, Nancy Johnson (Mark) and Liz Trimble (David); and nieces and nephews, Stephanie (Nick), Jonathan (Lauren), William (Diandre), Cathy (Ryan), and Dan (Natalie). A memorial service will be held in the spring in Bridgeville, PA.

I'm so sorry to hear of Uncle Jim's passing!!! We lost touch for so many years but I'm so greatful that we were able to reconnect thanks to Facebook. I have nothing but happy memories of fun times, jokes, giggling like crazy when riding the roller coasters at Kennywood, 'does your face hurt? It's killing me', and so much laughter!My thoughts and prayers are with you and I pray that you find comfort in the days ahead. Patty Martin Niederst
