On behalf of the Shawula Family, we want to say Thank-You for visiting this web site honoring Our Mother, Nancy Joan Shawula. She was an amazing woman, full of unconditional love. Everyone that knew her knew where they stood with her. She was gentle as well as firm when it was needed. She was a devoted Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. Her faith in God was strong. Celebrate her life. She told me something about 6 years ago, "If I died tomorrow, I am very happy and satisfied with the life I had. I married the perfect man, had a great Family. I was truly blessed."
Nancy Joan (Westphal) Shawula passed away March 31, 2021 at the age of 87. She was born in Pittsburgh, Pa. She was a basketball star at St Casimirs High School in the southside of Pittsburgh.
