On February 25, 2022, Morfydd Gidget Knorr, a 71-year-old resident of Gracedale Nursing Home in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, died.

Coaldale, Pennsylvania born on June 2, 1950, to the late Richard and Marian Urban.

Jessica B. Knorr of Nesquehoning and Amanda E. Knorr of Whitehall are the only surviving children.

Marfydd Knorr

After graduating from Lansford High School, Gidget attended the Thomas Jefferson School of Nursing in Philadelphia, where she obtained her nursing degree. While at Muhlenburg Medical Center in Bethlehem, Gidget worked for the Lehigh Valley Health System for many years. Throughout her childhood and adolescence, Gidget was an equestrian, an avid reader, and an animal lover.

The E. Franklin Griffiths Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Inc. of 655 East Broad Street Tamaqua, Pennsylvania 18252 has been entrusted with the arrangements for the deceased. Call us at (570) 668-2550 to learn more.

Sky View Memorial Park in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, has been selected for the service.


“Tiki Tony” Anthony J. Zahora, Sr., 96, of Walker Twp., South Tamaqua, Pennsylvania passed away on February 27, 2022 at St. Luke’s Miners Memorial in Coaldale, Pennsylvania. He leaves behind a wife and three children.

Anthony-ZahoraThe son of Joseph and Julia (Hudec) Zahora, he was born in Coaldale, Pennsylvania on August 13, 1925. Marie (Kupetz) Zahora, his beloved wife; children Michele D. Knepper and Anthony M. “Tony” Zahora, Jr.; sisters Julia and Mary Davison; brothers Charles “Cutter”; Joseph, John, and William Zahora; and grandson Kyle Knepper.

Son Charles Zahora of Marysville and his wife Marilyn survive, as do daughters Maria A. Naab, married to Ed Naab, of Lebanon, and Margo Russoli, married to Tom Russoli, of Schnecksville; six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren he adored; a companion, RuthAnn Feane; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Anthony, a proud Coaldale High School alum, served his country honourably in World War II. Anthony returned to Pennsylvania and worked in the mines for many years before joining Bonney Forge in Allentown as a machinist. In addition to clamming on the Delaware beaches, Anthony enjoyed long walks, time spent with his family, and trips to Las Vegas, where he enjoyed sampling the buffet.

In his passing, Tony has left a legacy of love and humility in his wake. Known as “Pop” by his grandchildren, he had an uncanny ability to make light of the most serious situations. He eagerly anticipated the opportunity to send out Christmas cards on which the word “Believe” was handwritten in the heading. As a person who persevered through many hardships, he will live on in the hearts and minds of many generations. He never wavered in his belief in God, no matter how difficult the situation became.

The E. Franklin Griffiths Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Inc. of 655 East Broad Street Tamaqua, Pennsylvania 18252 has been entrusted with the arrangements. Call us at (570) 668-2550 to learn more.
