RoseAnn "Bubbles" Pastor

RoseAnn “Bubbles” Pastor, age 82, of Oregon, Ohio passed away on Monday, July 28, 2025. She was born on July 16, 1943, in Toledo, Ohio to Joseph and Rose (Marusz) Varga. RoseAnn was a graduate of Central Catholic High School. She worked as a dietary aid at Little Sisters of the Poor for many years. RoseAnn enjoyed reading, gardening, collecting rocks, and coffee. Many times, she could be found at the Oregon senior center playing bingo or assisting with events. She was a one-of-a-kind person; she never complained and always brought a smile to the faces of those she cared about with her fun stories and unique catch phrases. Most of all, she loved spending time with her Hungarian family.

Sadly, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and made the decision to undergo surgery. Dr Kerri Simo removed her pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, and some of her liver. Despite these setbacks, RoseAnn didn’t let this slow her down and with the support of friends and family took on a challenging new life. Those close to her often remarked that regardless of her situation, “she’s a tough ole bird”. Her daughter would like to thank Dr. Simo and RoseAnn’s PCP Dr. Patricia Vega for the roles they played in caring for her mother and extending her life.

RoseAnn is survived by her daughter, Ellyn Anne Pastor and her fiancé Jordan Penley. She is also survived by her siblings Patricia Lakin, Joanne Thompson, and Carol Surgo, as well as Joan Norman, her cousin who has been her caregiver since beating pancreatic cancer, and Amy Whitaker, her godchild. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Rose Varga, and her brothers, Joseph Vargo and James Varga.

A memorial gathering will be held at St. Ignatius Catholic Church on Monday, August 4, 2025 from 10:00-11:00 a.m. where a memorial Mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. Memorial contributions can be made to Little Sisters of the Poor St. Martin’s Home 601 Maiden Choice Lane Baltimore MD 21228, attn: Sister Mary John.
