Andrea E. “Teeny” “Tina” (Baacke) Harbadin, (90), of York, SC, formerly of North Huntingdon, beloved sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed peacefully from this world on March 16, 2024. Born June 27, 1933, a daughter of the late Peter and Elizabeth (Papp) Baacke, she is also preceded by her husband of over 46 years Joseph T. Harbadin, her sister Carol “Vergie” Cehlar and brother Wilbur “Billy” Baacke.

After helping her father raise her three siblings, she raised 5 children of her own with her husband and was sole caregiver for many years for Joe who suffered from multiple sclerosis before his passing.

Teeny was an excellent cook and baker, with a secret recipe for the best nutrolls ever. She loved playing cards with her family (all the good cards found her!). Forever a Steelers Fan, she watched every game, had a whole room full of Steelers collectibles, including replicas of all six Super Bowl rings of which she was especially proud.

Teeny was a proud, loving, and involved grandmother of ten grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Teeny was loved by so many, always made friends wherever she went, and will be missed dearly by all.

She is survived by her sister Delberta “Dutchie” Wojtowicz; her children Diane Marzec (Dan Gagetta), George Harbadin (Mariane Fazekas), Michele Burling, Loretta Harbadin-Gates (Peter) and Joann Prata (Joe); grandchildren: Kenny Marzec (Peggy), Matthew Burling, Andrea Burling DiRocco (Ryan), Dennis Burling, Tina Glunt (Bob), Jonathan Fazekas, Joseph Prata (Emyle), Alex Prata (Heather), Justin Drummond, and Joshua Prata; great-grandchildren Zach, Brea, Luke, Anthony, Nico, Dominic, Enza, Scarlett, Chloe, Chase, Delilah, Isabel, Margaret, Breñya, and Hailie; also many nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, friends and family are encouraged to donate to Teeny’s preferred charity: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at www.stjude.org.
