Dorothy E. Coyne, 91, of Neshannock Twp., passed away peacefully at 7:55 p.m. Friday, February 17, 2017 in AHN Healthcare at Home inpatient hospice unit at West Penn Hospital, Pittsburgh.

Mrs. Coyne was born November 8, 1925, in New Castle, a daughter of the late Rudolph C. and Ethel Gwin Onasch.

She was a lifelong area resident and 1944 graduate of New Castle High School. In addition to raising her two daughters, Dorothy worked as a bookkeeper at the former Bowman Trucking Co. and Coyne Trucking Co. in Union Twp., a business her husband Jack owned and operated for many years.

She was a founding member of St. Camillus de Lellis Parish.

Dorothy volunteered at Jameson Memorial Hospital for many years, and also at the former St. Mary's parochial school in the library, cafeteria and served as a recess monitor.

She enjoyed gardening, antiquing and many arts and crafts, particularly woodworking, sewing and painting. She instilled her many passions and interests in her two daughters, all of which they both carry on today. Dorothy cherished the time she was able to spend playing with her grandson, Liam, and in recent years loved making phone calls to him so she could listen to him playing the piano.

Her husband of over 60 years, John "Jack" Coyne, whom she married April 16, 1955, preceded her in death on December 15, 2015. She is survived by two daughters, Mary Beth Coyne, of Maynard, MA; and Cathy A. Coyne and her husband, Thomas E. Murray; and a grandson, Liam Murray, all of Bethlehem, PA; a sister, Donna J. Onasch, of Andover, MA; and a sister-in-law, Clara Coyne, of New Castle; along with many nieces and nephews.
