Hazel (Halle) Lentini, 79, formerly of Hendersonville, NC, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 24, 2022 in Pittsburgh after a long illness. The eldest of four daughters, she was born March 25, 1943, in McKeesport to Clifford Albert and Etta Mae (March) Halle. She was a member of the Grace Gospel Church in Hickory, NC, and employed as a display designer for Radio Station WHKP. Her great passions were family time, oil painting, music, and traveling. She created more than 100 paintings in her lifetime and was able to attend her final art show in July 2022, which was attended by her supportive family and cherished friends. All four sisters have remained close and traveled many miles to be together through the years. Hazel kept the entire family up to date with a newsletter, the Lentini Lens, and calendars filled with photos, many taken by her. She generously included everyone’s achievements and adventures.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Peter Lentini. She is survived by her four children, of whom she was so proud, Anne, Jeremy, John, and Justin; three sisters, Janet Halle of West Newton, Sally Cull (her loving penpal) of Belfair, WA, and Bonnie (Dev) Lemster of Greentree; and sister-in-law, JoAnn Lentini of New York. A heartfelt thank you to Pastor Reggie and wife Wendy, and special helpers and medical folks who helped Hazel along the way. As per her request there will be no viewing. Interment will be in West Newton Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to Platelet Disorder Support at Pdsa.org/memorial-donation.html. Arrangements by the Paul E. Bekavac Funeral Home, Elizabeth.
