McLafferty

Gary L. McLafferty, 83, of Cabot, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023, at Concordia Lutheran Ministries under the care of Good Samaritan Hospice.

Born Sept. 22, 1940, in West Winfield, he was the son of Peter Clover McLafferty and Mary Ethel Bauldoff McLafferty.

Gary graduated from Knoch High School in 1959. He had worked at Armco in plant protection and retired from Penn United Technologies as a press operator.

Gary's greatest joy was attending any activity that his grandchildren were involved in. He also enjoyed displaying his recently found painting talent, playing bingo, feeding the ducks at the pond and putting lots of pepper on his food.

Surviving are his wife, Helen (Mochel) McLafferty, whom he married Sept. 18, 1965; three sons, Patrick (Sheila) McLafferty of Acme, Mark (Susan) McLafferty of Worthington and Jeffrey (Kathy) McLafferty of Lower Burrell; his brother, George (Nancy) McLafferty of Saxonburg; his sister, Mary Tirk of Butler; sister-in-law, Helen J. McLafferty of Saxonburg; seven grandchildren, Sarah Winders and her husband, Travis, Megan, Stephane, Erin, Austen, Matthew and Kara McLafferty; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, James McLafferty and Edward McLafferty and his wife, Carmella; and his brother-in-law, George Tirk.

Gary's family would like to thank all the skilled nursing and activities staff at the Lund Care Center who took such good care of him for the past two years.
