We honor the wonderful life of Dale H. Peters, a lifelong resident of Greensburg. Dale served in the army from 1959 to 1962. He was a farmer through and through. He was most content when riding his tractors in the fields. Dale was a jack of all trades. There was not any piece of equipment he could not repair. Relaxation was sitting on his porch swing with a cup of coffee or tea, and eating a Little Debbie chocolate cake. He was a loving husband, dad, and pappy.

We celebrate the wonderful life of Laura Scales Wallace. She grew up in Greensburg, PA and graduated from Hempfield High School in 1975. Laura received her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Allegheny College in 1979. While at Allegheny, one of the things Laura enjoyed most was her time on the cheerleading squad. She then went on to Syracuse University where she received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1984. Laura lived in Florida for a time, where she began her lifelong career in nursing. While in Florida, she worked as a home health nurse and as an LPN for a dermatologist. Once back in Greensburg, she worked as an LPN for a PCP’s office until she had to give up nursing for medical reasons. Laura was a loving daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She was a gentle woman with the kindest heart. She loved all holidays, trips to the beach, country inns and all things vintage. Laura was a collector of many things but two of her favorite collections were her hankies and her ribbons. She was a little bit Rock and Roll and a little bit Country. And having the biggest sweet tooth, she wasn’t shy about admitting that one afternoon she drove to two different drive-thrus for vanilla ice cream cones.
