Bobbette "Bobbie" Joan Bashioum

Married to Leslie Bashioum on July 11, 1961, the absolute love of her life for 64 years, rarely did you see one without the other. She was born in Pittsburgh PA, but she and Leslie lived and raised their family in Slovan, PA. Mother to her beloved 4 Children, Michael (Dar), Scott (preceded her in death), Patrick (Tammy) and Bobbette. She made each of them feel like the most special person on earth in their own way through little gifts, time with her, ice cream treats, and camping. Her children were blessed beyond compare to have her as their “Mommy”. She was a proud Grandma (9) and Great- Grandma (7), and the grandkids gave her the biggest smiles. A favorite memory was baking Christmas cookies with them all around her like little elves on a sugar high. She was a skilled crafter and would persist until the end result was a masterpiece. Bobbette’s Christian faith was an important part of her life, and for many years she was a Sunday School Leader and heavily involved in the VBS summer programs at Westminster Presbyterian Church. She found great joy in sharing her love for the Lord. She was a woman of service to include the Slovan Volunteer Fire Department where she would follow the trucks on any major call in her vehicle loaded with healthy drinks and snacks to support the firefighters on duty. Three of those volunteer firefighters were her sons. She would help everyone she could, including animals. The family property became a refuse for unwanted pets. She had several favorite pets herself, to include “King”, her beautiful Tennessee Walking Horse, and her Saint Bernards, “Quinine” and “Sissy”. Bobbette was honest to a fault, be careful if you wanted the truth to hit you in the face because it was coming without sugar. She loved music and sang softly or hummed as she performed her daily tasks. Her smile was priceless and her husband, Les, would do anything to see that smile…that made his life happy. She and Les had the love story anyone wished for, still holding hands till her last breath. No one who knew them ever doubted their love for each other – it was so obvious you could feel it. They put God first and each other second. She loved their home where she raised her four children. She grew up in the city and preferred their move to the country where she could not see her neighbors from her porch. Her swing was a place of peace and comfort… to sit beside her on the swing brought a sense of peace, as though it radiated from her. She loved spring the best when the flowers were popping up out of ground with the beautiful colors of a painting. Gardening was not a hobby it was an everyday event. She would say, “who needs therapy when you can put your hands in the dirt and make new life come out with some hard work”. Bobbette was a fantastic homemaker and cook, everything she made was delicious. Her kids were often caught trying to “snitch” a sample of dinner before it was ready only to get a smiling “scolding” from Mom. Bobbette was a beautiful person inside and out, and she will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved her.

Family and friends will be received at Salandra Funeral and Creation Services, Inc. Joseph P. Salandra LFD owner/supervisor, 304 W. Pike Street, Canonsburg, PA 15317 on Friday, January 30, 2026, from 1 to 3 January 30, 2026, for a gathering of remembrance with a Memorial Service to follow.

William (Bill) Robert Martys

William (Bill) Robert Martys, our dear son, brother, father, grandfather, co-worker and more left this world on January 19, 2026, at UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh. Bill was born and raised in Canonsburg Pa. and graduated from Canon-McMillian high school in1970. Following graduation from IUP Bill quickly found his calling in his life’s work by helping people in need. From ARC Manor to the Woods School, the American Red Cross to ultimately being the COO at Southwestern Human Services in Pittsburgh, Bill had a passion for helping underserved people, developing life changing programs, as well as lending an ear or sound advice to family and friends facing personal challenges. He truly did “God’s work” and the “ripples” of his labor will never fully be understood or acknowledged-----and he’d be okay with that. There were five beaming lights in Bill’s life: Evan, Emma, Will, Mae, Henry in which they all affectionately called “Pop-Pop Bill”. There were no other humans in Bill’s life that brought him more pride and joy. Pop-Pop Bill turned into “Teddy Turnpike” throughout the year to watch his grandchildren participate in all of their sporting events, 27 years of birthday parties, religious milestones and of course the annual highlight, Christmas with Pop-pop Bill. It was Christmas where he would spoil his grandchildren endlessly, even making Santa look cheap! Pop-pop made each and every event special for each one of his grandchildren. In Bill’s eyes, “No other grandchildren existed on the planet”. Bill was preceded in death by his parents John and Harriet Martys. He is survived by his daughter Kristin Barnett, son David Martys (wife Mary), brother John (Kathy Martys), sisters Helen (the late William Fries), and Carol (Mark Groom) and six nieces and nephews.

Family and Friends will be received from 9:00am until 10:00am on Saturday, February 7th at St. Oscar Romero Parish St. Patrick’s Church, 317 W. Pike St. Canonsburg Pa 15317, with a Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated at 10:00am. Family suggests memorial contributions be made to Southwestern Human Service (non-profit) to support their various programs and Christmas toy drive. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted into the care of Salandra Funeral and Crmation Services, inc. Joseph P. Salandra LFD owner/supervisor 304 West Pike Street Canonsburg (724)745-8120.

Helen Telesko Senkinc

On Wednesday, January 14,2026, Helen Telesko Senkinc passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family. She was born on November 7, 1936, to George and Anna Telesko. On January 24, 1959, she married Conrad Senkinc of Strabane who survives. During her final days, Helen was surrounded by her loving family members. Her husband, Conrad, daughter Beth, son in law Phil Mary, grandchildren Philip, Luke and Lindsey Mary, Ashley Londino and husband Fiore (daughter Natalie), and special niece Rene Obrien and husband Bob Obrien spent the last precious moments as they always did by providing love and kindness as Helen prepared to enter the gates of heaven. Helen was employed at Salem Furnace Company in Carnegie as an executive secretary to the President of the company. A job she was very dedicated to for 28 years until the untimely passing of her boss. She also worked at Western Area Vocational School until her retirement. She was affectionately known as Baba, Grandma, Maria and Aunt Helen to her husband and close circle of family who were by her side to celebrate the holidays, good times and support her when bumps in the road appeared. Helen loved shopping, reading, bowling, polkas, sports, swans and the color pink. She would often spend all day Saturday shopping at the local malls and stores. Her swan collection was amassed over every birthday, Christmas and Mother’s Day. She read every page of the Sunday paper, especially the sports page. Helen enjoyed many books written by Danielle Steele and also read countless books to her grandchildren in their younger years. When her grandchildren had any type of event such as football, cheerleading, baseball or a softball game, Helen was in attendance cheering them on except at wrestling matches because she couldn’t bear to see someone trying to hurt her grandsons. Helen and Conrad also enjoyed wonderful vacations in Myrtle Beach. They made annual trips for over 30 years every July and would often sneak away in September as well. Although Helen was a good cook, she enjoyed going out for breakfast at Eat n Park every Sunday and enjoyed Franco’s, Napoli’s, Olive Garden and Red Lobster. Helen stayed very active and independent until these last few years when unfortunate falls and declining health started to slow her down. The family would like to thank the amazing caregivers who helped Helen for the last few years. They all provided deep compassion, care and a loving hand. The team at Gallagher Home Care and Hospice, which includes Dana, Jason and Tasha, went above and beyond to help Helen and the family. We were also blessed with our amazing care team of Darlene, Marissa, Stacy, Catherine, Jess and Laney. All of their love and care kept Helen safe and comfortable in her home as she wished. Helen was the youngest of eight children. Her last remaining sister Margaret Wyocio resides in Colorado. Preceding her in death are her siblings George, John and Mike Telesko, Ann Terpin, Liz Demsher and Julie Kern.

Visitation will be from 1:00 - 3:00 pm Sunday, February 1, 2026, in Salandra Funeral and Cremation Services, Inc. Joseph P. Salandra LFD owner/supervisor 304 West Pike Street Canonsburg (724) 745-8120. A memorial service will be held at 3:00 pm in the funeral home.
