Gayle Dietz Obituary

Gayle Bonnie Dietz, 76, of Pittsburgh, passed away peacefully on April 1, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. Born on June 4, 1949, Gayle built a life centered around the people that she loved. She was a devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt, and Nunnie, whose greatest joy came from spending time with her family and creating a home filled with warmth, laughter, and care. Gayle is survived by her husband, George of 51 years; children, George (Aimee), Paul (Sarah), and Ray (Andrea). She was a proud and loving Nunnie to Tabby, Gavin, James, William, Lillee, Henry, Cameron, and Finley. Her brother, Raymond Brittner (Jane) and their family. Her sister-in-law, Sharlene Brittner and her family. Along with many lifelong friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Dolores Brittner; her brother, Jim Brittner; and her mother-in-law, Julie Dietz. She loved simple moments that brought family together trips to Erie, visits to Kraynak's Christmasland, baking with her grandkids, playing cards, and spending time in her garden. Whether tending to flowers or gathering with her friends and family, Gayle found happiness in the everyday beauty of life and the people around her. Gayle will be remembered for her kindness, her strength, her deeply rooted Christian faith, and the love she had for her family and friends. Her presence will be deeply missed, but the memories she created will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. Visitation is from 2 to 8 p.m., Monday, April 6, 2026, at HAHN FH & CREMATION SERVICES INC., 123 North Ave., Millvale. Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m., Tuesday, April 7, 2026, St. Matthew's Parish, Holy Spirit Church.

Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
She was a very kind and thoughtful person.
She is an angel now and gained her wings.
She will be with you always!

Gayle was wonderful with kids and adults alike. Such a joy to be around. When I first interviewed her to sit for my "girls", she said "You're not going to believe this but I have kids come back to visit me after the graduate." Well, she was right...I didn't believe her and kids did visit her. We've moved to two different states and my girls are 27...and we stayed in touch. She loved her family most of all. The world is a sadder place without Gayle...we miss you already.
