PAULA BRANT Obituary

Paula Brant, 65, of Mt. Lebanon on September 16, 2022. Daughter of the late Evelyn and Richard Mottsman; preceded in death by a beloved sister, Diane Mottsman; sister of loving brother, Daniel (Stephanie) Mottsman. Cherished wife of Gary; magnificent mother to Michael Brant and Lauren (Justin) Seltzer. Adoring Grammy to Samuel Ari Seltzer. After decades of running her family's wholesale business, Paula kept busy in retirement with hobbies such as yoga, mahjong, walks with friends, bike rides with Gary, needlepoint, pottery, and knitting. She loved dancing at rock concerts, eating candy as a meal, and regularly visiting her kids in California. She was at her happiest when she was surrounded by treasured family and friends. Paula will be remembered for her quick wit, sense of humor, inquisitiveness, ability to forge everlasting friendships, and her big heart. She was the life of every party and the light of many lives. She proudly supported women's health causes, appreciated Mother Nature, followed science, and didn't suffer fools gladly. The family would like to express immense gratitude toward Dr. Mark Socinski and Dr. Timothy Burns as well as all the nurses and caretakers at Hillman Cancer Center.
