Shena Marie (Vodde) Horvatic, age 52, of Donora passed away suddenly on Sunday, September 7, 2025 in her sleep. Shena was born in Cincinnati Ohio on January 11, 1973 to Susan Marie (Dennon) Vodde and the late Ronald Vodde (who served in the Vietnam War). She was a wonderful wife of 21 years to Michael Horvatic, a great sister to April Rose and Veronica Vodde, and a great mother to Carissa Vodde, Lynzi Justice, and Cody Justice. She was also a grandmother to her nine-year-old granddaughter, Gemma Justice. Shena was always positive on life and upbeat. She enjoyed spending time with her dogs and chickens. It always gave her peace and relaxation. Shena's personality can brighten up anyone's day. She loved spending time with family and friends. She enjoyed going to sporting events and concerts with all her friends. Shena lived a vibrant life with love and kindness. Shena's request was to be cremated with no funeral but a small memorial service for close friends and family. May She rest in peace. The John M. Dobrinick Funeral Home Inc., 702 7th Street Trafford 412-372-3111 is assisting the family with arrangements.
