Our dear, beautiful wife, mother, daughter, sister, and grandmother, Jean Marie Gorder Paris, 60, of Cranberry Township passed away suddenly July 24 while visiting family in Utah and Idaho.

Jeannie has returned to the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.

She was born in Roy, Utah, where she met her loving husband who was stationed there in the Air Force. They were wed on May 21, 1975, and she followed the love of her life to his home of Pittsburgh, where they spent 39 wonderful years together raising their beautiful family.

Jeannie began working in 1991 at her son's elementary school to help ease his transition into going to school and continued to work there until the spring of 2014. She also volunteered in various capacities at her local church. Jeannie was well-known for her selfless acts of giving and unconditional love for her family. She was a true and loyal friend to those who knew her best.

Jeannie is survived by her loving husband, Greg Paris, and their children, Crystal (Mark) Weimer and Zachary Paris; her precious granddaughter, little Mavis Jean Josephine Weimer; her grandpuppy, Indy; her mother, Lesley Gorder; her two brothers, Lynn (Dana) Gorder and Jeff (Tracy) Gorder; her sister, Susan (Alan) Hatch; and many nieces and nephews.

Jeannie's greatest joy was becoming a grandmother, as she spent every free minute showering Mavis with love and creating special memories.
