Pepe

Nancy Pepe, 75, of Harmony, passed away peacefully in her home on Thursday, April 2, 2026.

Born June 8, 1950, in Altoona, she was the only daughter of the late James V. and Stella (Potopa) Iuzzolino.

Nancy was a member of Divine Grace Parish, St. Gregory Church. She was a lifelong teacher and lover of the arts. She loved reading and could often be found with a book in hand, lost in a story. Nancy shared a love of music and theater with her family and shared her gift for music with her church family, as the choir director at St. Gregory for many years. She also loved sports, with hockey being her favorite. She was the best hockey mom and grandma of all.

Her grandchildren brought her endless joy, laughter and pride. She loved every second she spent with them. Nancy was met in heaven by her loving family, and her beloved animals. Her goldendoodle, Rusty, will miss her most of all.

Nancy leaves behind to cherish her memory, her loving husband, Donald C. Pepe, whom she married Aug. 11, 1973; her children, Jason Christopher Pepe and Jaclyn Christine Pepe Greenstone (Benjamin); and her precious grandchildren, Matilda, Caleb and Tobias.
