				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Virginia Dyer (Jean) Curtis died on October 6, 2026, in the McMurray Hills rehabilitation
center in McMurray (Cannonsburg), Pennsylvania. She was two weeks shy of her ninety-
ninth birthday.

Virginia was born on October 21, 1927, in Springfield, Ohio, where her family had just
relocated from Barbourville, Kentucky (near Harlan). They were actually headed for Detroit
but their car broke down in Springfield, so that’s where they settled. Her parents were
James King Dyer and Lena (Brumley) Dyer, both native Kentuckians. On one occasion,
speaking of Virginia and her older sister, Helen, a high school teacher remarked that “The
Dyer girls are the smartest and prettiest girls in the school.”

On July 12, 1945, Virginia married Vernon L. Curtis, who had just been discharged from the
Army Air Force after serving during World War II in a B-17 Flying Fortress. Virginia first met
Vernon when his car broke down in Springfield. They settled in Vernon’s hometown of
Mechanicsburg, Ohio, population 1,500, and promptly had four children.

In 1954, the family moved to the Shenango Valley, a heavily industrialized area centered
around the town of Sharon, Pennsylvania, buying a house in what was then Hickory
Township, Pennsylvania. (It is now known as Hermitage, Pennsylvania.) Virginia would
remain in Hermitage for more than seven decades.

After the birth of her first grandchild, Jane, Virginia became known inside and outside the
family as “Gami.” (Her mother was known as Gami-Gami.) In fact, if you inquired of people
about “Virginia Curtis” they would stare at you blankly for a moment before saying, “Oh,
you mean Gami!”

Following her divorce from Vernon in 1983, Gami opened her own business, The Children’s
Exchange. Despite its name, The Children’s Exchange sold not children but lightly used
children’s clothes. The business was a success and Gami ran it for years. She also
volunteered for five decades at Meals-on-Wheels, where she frequently delivered meals to
people much younger than she was. She was also a fifty-year volunteer at the Buhl-
Henderson Library in Sharon, and she was active in her church, the Hickory United
Methodist Church in Hermitage, where she served for years as church treasurer. Gami was
also a loyal volunteer at her local polling place, serving as inspector of elections for the
Democratic Party for many years.

Up to age ninety-seven, Gami lived alone in her home in Hermitage, caring for herself and
enjoying her local friends. Her nervous children, unable to reach her or her neighbors by
phone, would sometimes drive to Hermitage to check on her. On one occasion they were
ringing the doorbell and pounding on the door and, getting no answer, they feared the
worst. At that moment Gami came around the corner of the house pushing a wheelbarrow
and wielding pruning shears – she was then 96 years old.

In 2024, Gami sold her house – she said the upkeep was too much, given that all her
plumbers, electricians and handymen had died or retired – and moved to a sun-filled
apartment at Strabane Trails Village in Washington, Pennsylvania. There she developed a
group of women friends with whom she enjoyed eating and chatting.

In September 2026, close to her ninety-ninth birthday, Gami traveled to Big Sky, Montana to
attend her grandson Arno’s wedding. Almost all her children and grandchildren – and some
of her great-grandchildren – also attended the wedding, and they took time to celebrate her
ninety-ninth birthday a month early. Gami had looked forward to the trip to Montana for a
long time and she loved every minute of it.

Gami was preceded in death by her parents, her ex-husband, Vernon (1923 – 2010), her
sister, Helen Ladrigan (1925 – 2010), and a grandson, Michael J. Shine (1983 – 2023). She
leaves behind four children: Gregory Curtis (Simin) of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Jean
DiGiallorenzo (Vincent) of Annville, Pennsylvania; Robbin Shine (Harry) of Masontown,
Pennsylvania; and Dennis Curtis (Miriam) of Cape Coral, Florida. She also leaves fourteen
grandchildren: Jane DiGiallorenzo, Sarah Hooper (Trevett), Stephen Shine (Chelsea), Jill
Keogh (James), Alice Cline (Matt), Josiah Wolff (Jamie), Peter Curtis (Neda), David Curtis,
Andre Curtis, Arno Curtis (Michaelle), Timo Curtis (Emily), Henry Curtis, Virginia Roos
Curtis and Oliver Curtis. Finally, she leaves eighteen great-grandchildren.

Virginia “Gami” Curtis was an extraordinary woman not just in the length of her long life but
also in its richness. She was admired and loved by everyone who knew her, from customers
at The Children’s Exchange to her final caregivers at the rehabilitation center. She died as
she had lived, surrounded by the family members who loved her so dearly.

A memorial service will be held on November 7, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Hickory United
Methodist Church in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. At her request, Gami was cremated at the
John S. Maykuth, Jr. Funeral Home in Masontown, Pennsylvania, and her remains will be
buried in the family plot in Springfield, Ohio in the spring of 2027 at a date to be
determined.

Susie gained her wings on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, surrounded by her loving
family. Her compassionate heart touched so many in our community, especially the
children she taught. Her faith was strong, as she was a student at All Saints School,
graduate of Fr. Kolb Memorial High School, and a lifelong member of the parish and
Christian Mothers at St. Francis of Assi Church. She attended Penn State University
Park for her bachelor’s degree, where she was a Little Sister of Theta Chi, then
continued to West Virginia University for her masters in elementary education. It was
during her student teaching that she met her husband, John Maykuth, Jr. They resided
in Masontown raising their daughters Shelly Masone-Davis (James) and Chrystal
Roderick (Jake). She considered James and Jake her sons. She enjoyed traveling
around the world with her husband and family. She especially loved white sandy
beaches with clear blue water. She was a member of Zek’s Ladies League Bowling.
Susie was a kindergarten teacher at German Central and a first-grade teacher at
Masontown Elementary. After retiring, she continued to share her kind spirit by
volunteering at Ruby Memorial Hospital Pediatric Unit. She continued to make learning
fun, by going back to teaching kindergarten at All Saints School and volunteering at
Smithfield Elementary with their PTO. In 2009, she was named Educator of the Year for
Fayette County. She will be remembered not only for the love that she had for teaching
and her students but, the lives that she touched. She loved being around children,
especially her three grandchildren, Sebastian Roderick, Dominic Masone, and Estelle
Roderick. They were her world and she was so proud to be a part of every event and
special moments in their lives. She was their biggest cheerleader and “Permanent
Nana”. Susie took each child’s hand in hopes of opening their mind but ended up
touching their hearts forever.
She was preceded to heaven by her parents Joe and Marie Zawelensky, her daughter,
Cheryl Marie Maykuth, brother-in-law, Brent Blake, sister-in-law, Mary Anne and Steve
Billcheck, in-laws John and Mary Maykuth, Sr. and cherished nephew, Toby Maykuth.

Susie is also survived by her sister Nancy Blake, Mary and Frank Maykuth, and Pat
Maykuth, nieces and nephews, Steve Billcheck, DeAnne Butler, John Billcheck
(Josanne), Mindy Hair, Brent Blake (Laura), and her close friend, Glenn Palmer as well
as great nieces and nephews, Chase, Lilly, and Caroline and numerous friends from her
travels around the world.
Family and Friends will be received at the John S. Maykuth Jr. Funeral Home in
Masontown, PA on Friday, Sept 4th from 2-8 PM. A prayer service will be held on

Saturday, September 5th at 9 AM in the funeral home chapel. A mass of Christian burial
will follow at St. Francis of Assi Church and internment at Lafayette Memorial Park.
A special thank you to Ronnie (her chemo buddy), Dr. Craig and the wonderful team of
nurses in the Infusion Center at Mon General Hospital, her care team at Family Ties
especially Kayla and Becky, The Caring Mission, Amedisys Hospice, and all our friends
and family that supported her with prayers, cards, encouragement, and positivity on this
journey.
You often hear the expression “Everybody loved so and so”. Guaranteed you never
heard it more than “Everybody loved Susie”. Her greatest attribute was making every
person she met feel like they were the most special person in the world. This came
naturally to her, because she actually was the most special person in the world. She
loved life and her small close-knit family. In lieu of flowers, please take the time to love
and hug the “Susie” in your life and share an act of kindness each day. You never know
when those moments could be gone forever.
