Barb’s life journey was dedicated to her family and marriage of 58 years to Irvin Winfield McMasters, 81, Homer City. Barb was born May 8, 1947 to parents, Herman and Pearl (Buriak) Muharsky, Park Hill, PA. She was raised in Park Hill and attended Conemaugh Valley High School (Class 0f 1965). She loved to complete word search puzzles, watch game shows (particularly, the “Price is Right”) and spend time with family. Her knack for remembering birthdays and names was second to none. Affectionately referred to as “Bubba” by her grandkids, her happiest times were spent surrounded by love ones playing cards and sampling new foods. She is survived by her husband, Irvin Winfield McMasters and her two children, Roxann Marie Kormanik, 52, Mechanicsburg and Irvin Price McMasters, 50, Lancaster; and three adored grandchildren, Nathan Irvin Kormanik 29, Shippensburg, Natalie Ann Kormanik, 25, Lock Haven and Nicolas Irvin McMasters, 17, Lancaster. Preceded in death by her parents and sisters Rose Marie Paulovich and Verna Podrasky. Funeral Mass will be 10 am Thursday September 7, at  Our Lady of Assumption, Lucerne Mines (Indiana County). Followed by visitation from 1 to 3 pm at Matevish and Matevish Funeral Home, Ebensburg. Following will be a 4 pm burial service and reception at Immaculate Conception, New Germany.
