Shirley (Massoud) Klak

Shirley (Massoud) Klak, 89, of Ambridge, PA was surrounded by the love of her cherished family when she passed away on August 7, 2024. She was born in Aliquippa, the daughter of late Tofic and Lottie Massoud on October 25, 1934. Shirley was a member of Saint Luke the Evangelist Parish, Good Samaritan Catholic Church. She held a strong devotion to her Catholic faith throughout her life. She was proud of her Lebanese heritage and was delighted to show it by preparing her many famous Lebanese dishes, including grape leaves and kibbeh, for her family and friends to enjoy. She was truly the consummate hostess, welcoming everyone who walked through her door with unconditional love and of course a plate of food or cup of coffee. Refusing her offer was futile. She would not take “no” for an answer when it came to food, especially a slice of her cheesecake. She was affectionately known by her grandchildren as “Sitto,”their small but mighty Sitto. Shirley’s dedication as a wife, mother, Sitto, Little Sitto, and homemaker will always remain with her family. She is survived by her faithful husband, Edward Klak. Her two daughters, Debra (Stan) Darpino and Kathleen (Troy) Erwin. Her grandchildren, Paige (John) Full, Edward Erwin, and Natalie Erwin. Her great-granddaughter, Vivian, and one on the way. She is also survived by her siblings, Anthony (Lee) Massoud, Liz (Nick) Williams, Marie Venanzio, John (MaryAnn) Massoud. Her sisters-in-law, Flo Jula and Joanne (Joe) Barna and many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins. Services will be announced at a later date.
