Clair V. Panzek, age 95, of White Oak, passed away peacefully on September 12, 2025. Born January 23, 1930, in Beaver, PA. She was the daughter of the late Henry and Melva (Hornberger) Losteter and the wife of the late Thomas J. Panzek.

Clair was a cherished member of our community, known for her dedication to her faith and family. She retired from the Enamel Products and Plating Company of McKeesport, but her heart was always at Mary, Mother of God Parish. There, she was an active member of the Ladies of Charity and served as an Eucharistic Minister at St. Angela Merici Church. Clair found joy in working at the church festivals and was a devoted Catholic throughout her life.

An avid lover of summer vacations, Clair spent 63 incredible years visiting Ocean City, Maryland, where countless memories were made. She will also be remembered for her companionship with her loyal dachshund, Benji.

Clair is survived by her sons, Thomas J. Panzek, Jr. and Scott A. Panzek both of White Oak; grandchildren, Steven (Jennifer), Kevin, Tracey, Michelle, and Michael; great-grandchildren, Gabrielle, Kylee, Rylee, David, Taryn, Jaxson, Tatum, and Eli; sisters, Ruth Smith, June Mignogna, and Carol McNeal; sisters-in-law, Gladys Abels and Patricia Fasnacht; brother-in-law, John T. Panzek; also many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and friends.

In addition to her husband and parents, Clair was also preceded in death by her siblings, Robert Losteter and Donna Chenot; and great-grandson, Dash Panzek-Elliott.

Family and friends will be received at Jaycox-Jaworski Funeral Home & Crematory on Thursday, September 18, 2025, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. and Friday, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, 10 a.m., at St. Angela Merici Church of White Oak.
