Marc I. Samuels DMD

Marc I. Samuels, DMD, age 81, of North Fayette Twp., passed away on Sunday, November 10, 2024. Beloved husband of Merryl Samuels for 59 years. Father of Micah (Sheryl) Samuels and Tisha (Jeff Green) Samuels. Loving grandfather of Sydney and Georgia Samuels. Loving brother-in-law and uncle for his extended family.

Dr. Samuels attended dental school at the University of Pittsburgh and did his residency at Montefiore Hospital. He then began his career as an Army dentist and served in Fort Polk, Louisiana and Seoul, Korea. He then began teaching at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, where he continued part-time throughout his career. He had a family dentistry practice in Green Tree for decades and was the school dentist for Keystone Oaks School District. He also served as a community dentist in various capacities and retired as the Director of the Dental Residency Program at Allegheny General Hospital.

Marc loved being with his family and friends. He loved the Steelers, going to games with his Section 19 family, and was almost always wearing clothes with a Steelers logo. He also loved playing bridge with the “Bridge Group.” He was a fixer of anything broken, even if it didn’t need fixing. He was an animal lover and would go on walks just to see his neighborhood furry friends. He had a kind, generous heart. He believed in service to others and was a long-time member of the Green Tree Rotary. He would do anything for a friend or stranger in need, but most of all he loved his family. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and community.

The family is memorializing his life privately. If you wish to honor his memory, donations may be sent to St. Jude Research Hospital, PO Box 1999, Memphis, TN, 38010, or a charity of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to WILLIAM SLATER II FUNERAL SERVICE, Scott Twp., 412-563-2800.
