OBITUARY Agnes M. Bernauer March 27, 1927 – August 31, 2018 Agnes M. (Matyasovics) Bernauer , born March 27, 1927 to Agnes Hohman Matyasovics and John Victor Matyasovics. Agnes was the granddaughter of John M. Hohman and Mary K. Hohman, wife of Henry C. Bernauer, sister of John Victor Matyasovics, Jr. (all predeceased). She was 91 years old.

Agnes graduated in 1946 from Perry Traditional Academy on North Side, Pittsburgh, PA. The 1946 Perry Academy Yearbook, “The Perryscope”, describes Agnes as quiet and dependable, forecasting that she would make a good secretary. Her interests were sewing, swimming and dancing.

She enjoyed beauty in nature, especially in flowers. While she was employed at the Mellon Bank, Agnes met her husband, Henry C. Bernauer; they married Oct. 24, 1978 in Pittsburgh, PA and lived on the North Side.

Agnes was a devoted Catholic who attended daily Mass at Incarnation Catholic Church, served as Eucharistic Minister, sang in the Choir and participated in various parish activities. In 1994, Agnes joined the Benedictine Oblates at St. Benedict Monastery in Ross Township and lived the values of the Rule of St. Benedict: commitment to God and her church through hospitality, stability, simplicity and graciousness with all she met. She visited residents at Manor Care and in the hospitals.

When the Benedictine Senior Center opened, Agnes often came to join in activities and lunch with other members. She offered her services in helping to serve the meals and assist in the kitchen. Her kindness was also shared in the Benedictine Adult Day Care.

Although Agnes had no children, she made friends everywhere she went, spreading her love for others. Since she did not drive, Agnes was often seen walking to her destinations. Most of the regular riders knew her on the PAT bus between West View and downtown Pittsburgh.

In 2011, Agnes moved to the Reformed Presbyterian Home on Perrysville Avenue, where she passed peacefully August 31, 2018. Arrangements being handled by the H.P.
