Gladys "Jean" DeFinis, 79,  of Bellevue, formerly of North Side, Pittsburgh, PA, passed away on Tuesday, December 10, 2019, surrounded by her loving family.

She is the daughter of the late Albert and Mildred (Stouffer) Elway and is preceded in death by her loving husband of 48 years, Anthony "Tony"  DeFinis; three brothers, David, Albert and Kevin; two sisters, Barbara and Carol Jane.

Gladys absolutely loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was very nurturing, caring and will always be remembered for her great sense of humor. She worked as a waitress, where she met her loving husband Tony at The Menu restaurant when he stopped in daily for lunch while working on the US Steel Tower; it was love at first site.  Anyone who knew Jean knew her favorite thing to eat was a cheeseburger and diet coke, and of her love of chocolate, right up until the end she would never say "no" to a Dove chocolate for dessert. Gladys loved the beach and her favorite vacation ever, was a trip to Hawaii in 1986 with her husband Tony.  She always had a way of making people laugh and was known for her 'one liners'. She is very loved and will always be remembered and deeply missed by her family and friends.
