Autumn Valerie (McArdle) Powell, 43, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, July 18, 2025, in Collier Township, Pennsylvania.
A lifelong resident of the Pittsburgh area, Autumn grew up in Carnegie and made her home in Collier, where she built a vibrant and devoted circle of family and friends. She was a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and coach-roles she embraced with passion and grace.
Autumn had a magnetic presence that could light up any room. Her love for music was infectious-she never missed a chance to sing and dance when a good song came on. She was known for her fierce loyalty, boundless energy, and unwavering strength. Whether she was coaching cheer, planning a celebration, shopping for the perfect find, or singing along at a concert, Autumn lived life with joy and purpose.
Above all, she adored her family. Her greatest pride and deepest love were for her husband of 15 years, Devin, and their two beautiful children, Ayden (12) and Isabella (9), who were the center of her world.
She is preceded in death by her grandparents Rose and John Toth and grandfather Jim McArdle. She is survived by her loving mother, Darlene (69) and father Ken (68); her brother Kenny (48); sister-in-law Lisa (49); her cherished nephew Austin (8), and her Grandmother Loretta (84).
Autumn's legacy is one of love, laughter, and fierce devotion. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Friends and family will be received on Tuesday, July 22, 2025 from 2-4 and 6-8 pm at Thomas-Little Funeral Service, Inc. and Crematory, 5000 Noblestown Rd., Oakdale (724-693-2800). A Blessing Service will be held on Wednesday, July 23, 2025 at 10 am in the funeral home.
