Sarah Marie Geortz Hopper, age 92, of Gibsonia, on May 31, 2022. Born in Parker, PA on June 22, 1929, daughter of the late Charles and Mary Smith Geortz.
Beloved wife of the late James L. Hopper. Loving mother of Deborah (Rich) Lokay, Diana (Bruce) Hufnagle, Thomas (Janice) Hopper, and Joy Hopper. Sister of the late Earl Geortz, Claire Geortz, Lawrence Charles Geortz, Dale Geortz, and Helen Dunlap. Aunt of Donna Russ, Sandy Dunlap, Lee "Bump" Geortz, and the late Joyce Wimer.

Also survived by five great-grandchildren and many great-nieces and great-nephews.
Marie grew up from humble beginnings on the Geortz family farm in Eldorado, PA where she attended a one room schoolhouse and was raised to be a tremendously hard worker. She was a longtime playground attendant at Washington Elementary and Hance Elementary Schools in Richland. Marie enjoyed keeping a large garden every year and would jar and freeze vegetables and fruit for the Winter months. She also liked feeding and watching the birds in her yard, picking all varieties of berries, cutting grass, raking leaves, sewing, quilting, crafting, and visiting camp at Sugar Lake. Marie also was a wonderful cook and baker, always making an extra plate for visitors and guests. She was a member for over fifty years of Bakerstown United Methodist Church where she was active with many committees and groups. In recent years she would play games on her Ipad and communicate with friends around the world. Most of all, Marie loved being with her beloved family and friends and will be dearly missed.
