JOSEPHINE MICHELLE HARRIS (NEE AGOSTINELLI)
Known to everyone as Jody Harris, 68, of Pittsburgh, PA, passed away suddenly on November 15, 2025. Born February 3, 1957, in Bridgeport, Ohio; to the late Chief John Agostinelli Jr. and Josephine Agostinelli (nee Shaheen); the middle of three children, Jody was also preceded in death by her sister, Susan Travis; whom she now joins in eternal rest.
Jody lived her life with taste and intention; defined by her warm and selfless nature, whatever she could fit in a schlepper bag, and a hot coffee in hand – with extra cream, always.
A world traveler with a palate for the finest foods, Jody embraced every opportunity to experience something new. She loved her 40+ year career in travel; turning clients into lifelong friends. She showed her daughters that the best gifts in life were experiences; memories made by saying yes to every adventure, trip, and cultural opportunity that presented itself. Her girls will forever carry that spirit & her voice of meticulous etiquette with them. She will be deeply missed on every journey she eagerly anticipated.
Jody is survived by her children, Rachel (Ryan) Springer and Rebecca Harris, her brother, John “Buck” Agostinelli III, niece/ nephews, cousins, and many special friends.
In Jody’s own words, and in the spirit with which she lived her life: “Bon Voyage!”
