HANNA HUTTNER EDELSTEIN, born August 14, 1931, passed away Tuesday, December 23, 2025. Daughter to the late Sally Huttner and Bernard Huttner, Wife to the late David Edelstein and Sister to the late Leo and Arnold Huttner.

Hanna Edelstein began her life in Berlin, Germany and emigrated to Ellis Island on the SS Deutschland, the last vessel from Hamburg, mid-August 1939.

Hanna moved to Pittsburgh, and began her school years, age 7, first at Roosevelt Elementary School (lower Murray Avenue/now a Giant Eagle Grocery Store) and finished at Taylor Allderdice High School. She graduated February 1, 1950.

On June 29, 1952 Hanna married David Edelstein, and for 62 years, and they had a terrific relationship.

Hanna was a phenomenal human being. A very kind, patient, gentle person who was also an amazing cook. She looked at everyone for their goodness and her life's advice was to "Be kind to others"... which is how she lived her 94 years of life.
