Linda Hareza Obituary

Linda Lou Hareza (Parise) of Murrysville, on Thursday, July 17, 2025. Born on Jan. 24, 1949, to the late Charles and Jane Gambone; loving partner of 26 years to Daniel R. Parise; sister of Charlotte Gambone; aunt of Jason Fidurski and Leslie Gambone; also survived by Daniel's daughter, Andrea (Will) Miles and their daughter, Emmy; Daniel's sister, Diane (Michael) Antellas; and her beloved dog, Lulu. Linda captivated those around her with her undeniable grace and charm. Her presence was larger than life, and her impeccable sense of style was a symbol of her commitment to living life to the fullest. Whether attending a family gathering or simply sharing a moment with a neighbor, Linda always looked effortlessly stunning, with a perfect coordination of clothing, shoes, and jewelry that became her trademark. Linda's commitment to family was unmatched. She never missed a family event, always showing up with warmth, humor, and the kind of generosity that made everyone feel special. Her laughter, wit, and kindness were contagious, and her ability to brighten a room with her presence made her a beloved figure in her family and her community. Always a hard worker, Linda was a loyal employee at Giant Eagle for 43 years. Known for her unwavering positivity, Linda was the heart and soul of her neighborhood. She had a natural ability to uplift those around her, offering kindness, encouragement, and a friendly smile to all who crossed her path. Her neighbors loved her for her ever-present good mood, and she was known for going out of her way to make others feel welcome and cared for. Linda's memory will live on in the countless fond moments shared with her family and friends and in the positive mark she left on the hearts of everyone she encountered. She was truly one of a kind loved by many and admired by all. Family and friends will be received at 12:30 until the time of the Mass of Christian Burial at 1 p.m. on Monday, July 21, 2025, at Mother of Sorrows Church, 4202 Old William Penn Highway, Murrysville, PA 15668. Interment to follow at Mt. Hope Cemetery, in Penn Hills. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in Linda's name to the Humane Society of Westmoreland County.

Rest in peace, Aunt Linnie - the legend (Queen Bee!).

Thank you for loving me unconditionally, even when I probably didn´t deserve it (which was often).

Thank you for showing me how to clean the tub with Scrubbing Bubbles after my bath (because clearly I wasn´t going to clean the tub on my own)... for letting me sit on your favorite fancy couch after my bath... for teaching me how to swim at Wingfield Pines country club, for blasting WAMO R&B while driving way too fast in your Cadillac... taking me to the Oasis Italian Restaurant almost every weekend for cheese raviolis like I was royalty... letting me hang my stinking hockey gear in your living room after picking me up from practice at 1:00 AM Saturday nights, and for buying me expensive clothes just so I could impress a girlfriend from Upper Saint Clair!


And I´m really sorry for...

- putting the cat in the fireplace (and having used your makeup for war paint) and waking Uncle Johnny who was sleeping on the coach in the game room to light it!?!?! (seriously, sorry about that)
- getting locked out in a snowstorm in the middle of the night because I thought the cat needed to pee
-and disappearing into the arcade at Wingfield Pines when you were trying to find me


You somehow loved me through all of it. You were one of a kind, and I´ll carry your love, your laughter, and your absolute Aunt Linnie-ness with me always!!!



You´ll always be my favorite Aunt Linnie and second Mother. I love you.

Charlotte Gambone
