Sally Marie Karanzas, of Emsworth, PA, peacefully passed away on Friday, September 5, 2025. Born on June 23, 1939 in Baltimore MD, Sally was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt. She cherished spending time with her family and friends and was a devote Catholic active within her neighborhood Sacred Heart Church. Sally loved history – especially facts pertaining to Pittsburgh and the Northside community – and enjoyed sharing stories of her experiences growing up on Fountain Street. She loved reading, sports, the stock market, learning new technologies, and walking in the Emsworth and Ben Avon communities to see her neighbors.
Sally is survived by her only daughter, Sandy Slater (married to James Slater, Jr.), and was a proud and loving Grammy to her two grandsons Nicholas and Nathan. Her loving sister, Helen Dripps (the late Joseph Dripps), was her best friend. Sally also leaves behind many nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, and two great, great nephews who have all given her such joy.
