GORSCAK MARGARET J.
Age 67, of Bethel Park, died Monday, November 28, 2016, following a courageous battle with cancer. Margaret was born July 9, 1949, in Brookville, Pennsylvania to Alfred and Dorothy Harriger. She was raised in Kane, Pennsylvania and attended school at both Johnsonburg and Kane High Schools. She studied dental hygiene at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Dentistry, which she practiced for the next 45 years in the South Hills area. While in college, she met and married her college sweetheart, Donald Gorscak, and they went on to raise two children, Katie and Ryan. She was an avid reader and enjoyed exercise and spending time with her family, especially her grandson, Brayden. She was preceded in death by her parents and survived by her husband, children, daughter-in-law, Nicole and grandson, as well as her brother, Cary Harriger, of Lubbock, Texas. Friends and family are welcome on Saturday, December 3, 2016, for a gathering at 2 p.m. followed by a memorial service at 4 p.m. at CREMATION & FUNERAL CARE, at 3287 Washington Road, McMurray, PA 15317.
