EILEEN JORDAN GERNETH
Age 86, of Point Breeze, passed away peacefully at Longwood at Oakmont
surrounded by her family where she was known for her beautiful smile and
endearing ways.
Eileen was born in McKeesport to Eileen Kelly Jordan and Anthony Jordan
of Jordan Bananas. She spent most of her growing up years in Laurel
Mountain Park in Ligonier.
Eileen is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, George Gerneth MD,
her daughters Lisanne Smith (married to Bradley Smith) (O’Hara) and
Megan Bergmann (married to Peter Bergmann) (Troy, MI), her cherished
grandchildren Caroline Smith, Charlie Smith, Cooper Smith, Otto
Bergmann, Hugo Bergmann and Annelies Bergmann, brothers Anthony
Jordan and the late Ralph Jordan, and sisters Judy Kalich (married to
Richard Kalich) (Keene, NH) and Rosena Jordan (Annapolis, MD).
She enjoyed her year of study at Penn Hall Junior College and graduated
from the University of Pittsburgh in Physical Therapy. She cared deeply for
her patients at DT Watson Home, Easterseals and Mercy Hospital.
She loved riding horses, skiing, and gardening in her backyard with her
husband, Big “G”.
Eileen loved an adventure and adored her lifelong friends from Ligonier,
McKeesport, and the beloved Pittsburgh Ski Club. These friends filled her
life with abundant joy and many hours were filled playing bridge with the
gals. Eileen was known for her giving nature, friendly smile, and open
heart. She was hopelessly optimistic and a philanthropist of the world!
