Laselles George Crumbie was born on July 4, 1934, in Hanover, St James, Jamaica, to the late Roslyn Gayle and Nehemiah Crumbie. 

From his childhood as an immigrant adolescent through his adulthood, Lascelles displayed resilience, hard work, and a tenacious spirit which ultimately led him to his beloved wife Sandra Crumbie. The two married on December 30, 1972, and together migrated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where they built their life and children. Lascelles worked as a truck driver for over 40 years up until his retirement later in his life. Throughout these years, he took immense pride in his family and treasured the relationships he has built around him. Becoming a grandfather and great-uncle, which truly brought him bliss more than anything in this world, he treasured the many memories and experiences shared with his loved ones. To know Lascelles was to know a man who valued his friends and family above all else. Through his presence he has touched so many people with his wisdom, strength, determination, and charismatic charm. On September 21, 2026, the Lord called him home to be reunited with his mother, father, and siblings. In his passing, remember him as a true general who fought a great fight, finished his journey and left behind a beautiful, long-lasting legacy.

 Lascelles is survived by his loving wife, Sandra Crumbie, followed by his beloved children, Loxley Crumbie, David Crumbie, Andrea Crumbie, Cheryl Crumbie, Wayne Crumbie, Christopher Crumbie, Andrea Wynter, Gary Malcolm, and Jason Crumbie. Lascelles also leaves behind a host of grandkids, great-grandkids, nieces, and nephews, along with loving friends throughout his life.

Rest in heavenly peace, Lascelles. You fought a great fight, and your legacy will never be forgotten. May God bless you. 

Special thanks to Mrs. Sonia Thomas & Family, and to anyone who sent flowers, condolences, and kind words during this turbulent chapter. We can’t express our gratitude enough to you all. Thank you and God Bless you all.

PIttsburgh, PA – A Time to Be BornLoretta Waddell was born May 25, 1936, to the late Clarence and Isadore Rayzer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

A Time to EmbraceLoretta attended Pittsburgh Public Schools, including Bellefield Girls Vocational High School. She graduated in 1954, where she studied dressmaking. Although she did not use her sewing skills professionally at first, those skills would become an important part of her life later on.

Loretta worked at Nabisco for 20 years. Due to glaucoma and the loss of her eyesight, she retired early. She later attended the Guild for the Blind in Bridgeville, where she gained skills that helped her adjust to her visual impairment and maintain her independence. She went on to work at the Pittsburgh Blind Association, where she became a seamstress and continued working until her retirement.

Loretta was a devoted Christian, and her belief in God guided the way she lived, loved, and cared for others. She was a faithful member of New Jerusalem Holiness Church for 70 years. During those years, she served in the ministry, sang in the Helping Hands Choir, led Friends and Family Day, served as a dedicated missionary, and was a member of the Pastor’s Aide. Her faith was not simply something she spoke about; it was reflected in the way she lived her life and cared for the people around her.

A Time to Love                                                                                                                                                                             Loretta was united in marriage to Roland Waddell. To this union two children were born, Deborah and Jeffery. She embraced motherhood with love and devotion, and her family remained one of the greatest joys of her life. She took special pride in her grandchildren and made a point of exposing them to new experiences. From trips to the Carnegie Library, plays, and the Science Center to other Pittsburgh landmarks, Loretta encouraged them to learn, explore, and discover their interests. Family gatherings, holidays, travel, traditions, and storytelling created memories that will continue across generations.

Her family will also remember her leading them in prayer at gatherings. Those moments reflected the faith and love that remained at the center of the family she helped build.

A Time to Rest

On September 18, 2026, Loretta completed her earthly journey and entered into eternal rest. Her life was rooted in faith, perseverance, service, and love for others.
