I wish I could be there with all my family. It’s too bad this pandemic kept everyone apart. I hope to get together with you soon. My sister is with my mom now. I remember all the mornings when we would have breakfast together, and all the good times we had in Logan’s ferry, and when we would hang out at the local store two doors away from us. I ran into a man this week whose mother was born in Logan’s ferry. We talked about going cat fishing in the river. And I bought a Pittsburgh Pirates t shirt from him. She is with Donald, my mom and all the others. Love to all. Pete

I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a terrific mom, g-ma, and wife plus a great cousin too! I was very relieved to hear that Elaine & Lisa recovered. Your mom is looking down on you and proud to have such terrific children. She loved her life because of all of you (her fantastic family)! She’ll be deeply missed & God Bless love Sue&John Ciuffetelli

When I learned of Evelyn’s passing it made me think of all the good times we had growing up. We were always in the house like we were one of her children. We truly are sorry, sending lots of love and hugs.

I will always remember polka parties around the table at the farm, impatiently waiting to see what tasty treat grandma was making for family gatherings, and the best bear hugs around. We love you and will miss you always.

Two people called me Flo when I was little, my cousin Ritchy and my big sissy Evelyn. Sure others might have called me Flo, but from these two, it melted my heart and put a smile on my face. Last Saturday, April 17th 2021 I lost my sister Evelyn to Covid-19. Only a little more than a month ago I asked her if she got her vaccine yet. She replied, “Not yet. We are waiting to hear from them.” And now she is gone. You could take the girl out of Pennsylvania, but you couldn’t take Pennsylvania out of the girl. Which was evident when she chose to return to her roots in the out-skirts of Pittsburgh, pleading to stay a while longer with her aunt while vacationing one summer from SoCal, and much to our Mother’s dismay. I’ll always remember her mischievous laugh. It was like she knew something and I didn’t quite understand it yet. Her jokes were a little bit naughty, but never raunchy. She told the best ghost stories. When Mom and I visited, all we girls would stay up through night telling stories at my grandmother’s house. Not until the first light, when the cardinals and yellow birds would start to sing in the trees would we all be going to bed. She was a fantastic baker and made the best nut rolls and kolachy cookies, all cookies really. Even last month she was sharing recipes on Facebook of scrumptious food to eat. Babies…she loved babies. Perhaps the only thing that would still really make her smile. Well, not the only thing. She loved the Italian singer Patrizio Buanne, her third love only to Elvis and Tom Jones. I’ll miss you Evelyn.
