Barbara S. (Hadnagy) Yanoshik

Barbara S. Yanoshik, 82, of Lofty, passed away at her home on Sunday, after battling pancreatic cancer. Barbara was the beloved wife of John ‘Pete’ Yanoshik, with whom she recently celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary.   

Born in Palmerton, she was the daughter of the late Michael and Susan E. (Evanko) Hadnagy. She was an identical twin and remained best friends to her beloved sister, Patricia.  

Barbara was a dedicated parishioner of Church of All Saints, McAdoo. She was a member of the Prime Timers and church cleaning group.  Barbara was a devout Catholic and had a special dedication to the Blessed Mother. For many years, she led a monthly prayer group in her home.   

Barbara was a 1960 graduate of Marian Catholic High School.  Prior to marriage, she worked at Western Electric in Allentown, and several garment factories. She also worked part time for Avendale Farms.  

Barbara had a “green thumb” and was proud of her flower and vegetable gardens. She enjoyed traveling with her husband on the many bus trips sponsored by the Prime Timers, and cruises with the Cruisers Car Club. 

Barbara was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother but her greatest joy was her grandchildren. She was thrilled to learn that she was about to become a great-grandmother in October 2024.
