Janna Smith Pitlyk, 69, died in hospice at St. Peter’s Hospital with her family around her on Friday, Aug. 3, 2018, after suddenly falling critically ill in July.       Janna leaves us with unforgettable memories of a life lived with a lovely smile, a gentle voice and a firm devotion to her loved ones. 
    She introduced her husband to cats and antiques, her son to Star Trek and her daughter to figure skating. She gathered her family together for Sunday dinners and shared stories of her Pennsylvania family. 
    Whenever she made a suggestion to her husband about looking for Christmas presents or making decisions about paint colors, she was always right. Whether setting play group times with neighborhood moms, volunteering for school activities or assisting with a move into a new apartment, she never tired of doing whatever she could for her two children.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in English and communications from Lock Haven State College in Lock Haven, Pa., and also studied at Columbia University in New York.
