Brooke Rose Howard, 20, of Pitcairn, passed away Saturday, September 21, 2024. She was born October 8, 2003, in Jasper, AL, daughter of Billy Howard and Sharon Szalanczy. In addition to her parents, she is survived by her sister, Branna (Michael) Shoemaker; her aunts, Darlene (Dave) Glotfelty, Kathy (Ron) Wagner; her uncle, Dale (Lisa) Szalanczy; and “Aunt Sue”.
Brooke was a light in many lives and made an everlasting impact on the ones she touched. She was full of hopes and dreams that she strived for consistently. She loved music, adventures, cats, poetry, learning new things, her teas and coffees, and living a simple life. She cared deeply about her friends and family and had the best way of showing that with her big heart. There wasn't a bigger heart than hers. Brooke was honest, caring, and wanted peace in her life and for others. There will never be a day she is not thought about, missed, and loved.
Services for Brooke were private with her family. Entrusted with arrangements is Hart Funeral Home, Inc. 3103 Lillian Avenue, Murrysville, PA 15668. For online condolences, please visit www.hartfuneralhomeinc.com.
To my baby girl, from Mama:
PEACEFUL EYES
I kissed your cheek
while you were sleeping
my peaceful eyes
quietly weeping
I admired your hair
on the pillow
a button of a nose
peeks out cutely so
a bundle of covers
wrapped an angel
as much as a whisper
she is fragile
a flower
peacefully at home
a tapestry of colors
upon my Baby Girl Brooke Rose
.
