Peter P. Narsavage, of Wilkes-Barre, PA and Punta Gorda, FL, passed away on November 17, 2025 in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Born on August 1, 1942, in the Junction section of Pittston, he was the son of the late Stanley and Frances (Prekel) Narsavage. A 1960 graduate of St. John’s High School, Pittston, Peter attended the University of Scranton before earning his Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree from the University of Detroit in 1966. He later became a Registered Professional Engineer and Professional Land Surveyor.
Peter met the love of his life, Georgia Roberts, on a blind date, and after a few dates he took her to her senior prom. They were married on October 26, 1968, at the Walter Reed Army Chapel, beginning 57 years of partnership, devotion, and adventure. Together they traveled widely, ultimately visiting all 50 states, multiple countries, and five continents.
Peter was a civil engineer with PennDOT for 32 years, ultimately serving as Right-of-Way Administrator. He was an integral part of many major road projects in Northeast Pennsylvania. He also served as President of the American Society of Highway Engineers, North East Penn Section. His career was a source of great pride, and his dedication to public infrastructure left a lasting impact on the region.
Peter volunteered as a Scout leader and supported his children’s many activities. A wonderful husband and dedicated father, he received both Father’s Day and Mother’s Day cards from his children during the years when Georgia’s academic studies kept her busy. Peter was endlessly handy, always working on a project around the house or finding a better way to get things done. He enjoyed restoring his first car, a 1955 Nash Metropolitan, and proudly showing off his car at events. In the 1960s & 70s, he and Georgia were frequent trophy winners in regional car rallies, a hobby they shared for many years.
Peter was known for his dry wit. He loved a good pun or groan-worthy dad joke, and anyone who asked “How are you?” got his trademark reply, “Terrible.” His humor and timing will be dearly missed.
Preceding him in death were his parents and three brothers: an infant brother, Stanley, and Frank.
He will be greatly missed by his wife, Georgia; his children Peter Alan Narsavage and his wife Sarah of Columbus, OH, Paul Narsavage and his husband Mike Lawson of Bethlehem, PA, and Marea Narsavage of Schnecksville, PA; and his grandchildren Patrick Narsavage and his wife Erica, Eliza Heilveil and her wife Megan, and Kylie Sutphen. He is also survived by his sister Mary Ann Long and her husband Blair of Wapwallopen, his brother Stephen Narsavage of Hughestown, and many loving in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, neighbors, and friends in both Pennsylvania and Florida.
The family is deeply grateful for the kindness and support shown by so many in recent months, including the caring communities of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Ventura Lakes in Punta Gorda, FL.
