By Wojciechowski Funeral Home | Posted in: Wojciechowski Funeral Home

 “And when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine, that all the world shall love the night.”

Fiore DiMarco of Whitehall passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 14 at the age of 90. He is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Patricia Ejchost DiMarco, his son Rev. Anthony J. DiMarco of New London, CT, and daughter, Susan Hartman of Whitehall. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Keri, Jordan and Marshall Hartman. He was preceded in death by his parents, Marco and Giovanna Marcozzi DiMarco, his brothers, Joseph, Dominic, Samuel and Orlando, and sister Rose Kennedy. Fiore was born in Glassport, graduated from Glassport High School, attended Penn State University, and retired from General Motors, Fisher Body. Fiore was a dedicated family man, who always put his family first- helping, loving, and caring. He showed us how to love. He showed us how to live and he showed us how to die. His passing marks the end of a family of first generation immigrants who made our country better for their coming here. He was one of many excellent Americans whose spirit and labor made this country thrive. He enjoyed wonderful times with his family and left us with many happy memories of his smile, his laughter, his teaching and his wisdom. As long as life and memory last we will remember him. We are especially grateful to Doctors Jalil, Fazal, and Bramowitz and to PA Amber Bussard for their patient attention to his health and welfare. We will be forever grateful for giving us as much time as possible with Fiore. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, February 18 at 10:00 a.m. at Saints Joachim and Anne, Queen of the Rosary church by his son, Rev. Anthony DiMarco, with burial to follow at New St. Joseph’s Cemetery, North Versailles. When the nights are cold and the stars are few, we’ll close our eyes and think of you. We’ll shed a silent tear and a silent wish that you were here. Good Night Sweet Prince – may flights of angels lead you into God’s Heavenly Kingdom.

Jean Marie Rothbauer

By Wojciechowski Funeral Home | Posted in: Wojciechowski Funeral Home

 

Jean Marie Rothbauer, 81, of Glassport (formerly of West Mifflin and Kennerdell PA) died Sunday, December 25, 2022. She was the daughter of the late Ralph and Dorothy (Breehl) Weber of Canton OH.  She is survived by her daughter Jeni (Rick) Szmyd; sons John (Sara) Bishel, Joe (Sue) Rothbauer, and Jim (Janine) Rothbauer; grandchildren Katie (Matt) Bernardi, James (Jodi) Szmyd, Megan (Sam) Shaffer, Rachel (Chris) Houston, Daniel Bishel, Logan (Ashley) Rothbauer, Christian Rothbauer, Carsten Rothbauer and Nathen Rothbauer; great-grandchildren Emma and Sophie Bernardi and Hunter Szmyd; and many nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind several dear friends, some of whom she had still kept in touch with since her youth in Canton. She was preceded in death by her siblings Robert Weber, Harold Weber, Dorothy Ebert, and Marjorie Noel. Jean was the beloved wife of John G. Bishel until his death in 1968, and then of Joseph Rothbauer until his death in 2002.  Her children will fondly remember her wonderful cooking and baking, and her absolute devotion to keeping a beautiful, warm, welcoming home. Jean was fiercely proud of her children and grandchildren and of being a mom and grandma. She loved to entertain - her outdoor patio and Christmas parties in West Mifflin and her Friday night homemade pizza parties ‘up at the cabin’ were epic. Jean received her bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management from Geneva College in 1993, and held several jobs after raising her family which always involved helping people - a cause dear to her heart. A lifelong learner, Jean continued her education through many online health summits on wellness and nutrition.  She loved reading and collecting books, was an avid gardener and enjoyed growing flowers of all kinds. In her later years, Jean adored living at her cabin on the river in Kennerdell where she could frequently be found feeding the birds, chipmunks, stray cats and other ‘critters’ that she loved watching and talking to.  In 2022, due to a decline in health, she moved to Glassport to be near her daughter.  A private memorial service will be held at a later date. Arrangements by Wojciechowski Funeral Home.
