Veronica Catherine Richards

By Gilbert Funeral Home and Crematory | Posted in: Gilbert Funeral Home and Crematory
Veronica Catherine Richards, 104, of Elizabeth Township passed away Wednesday, October 8, 2025. She was born April 11, 1921, in East Liberty to the late Raymond Ward and Pauline Rosella (Gross) Richards. She was the loving wife to the late Charles Ray Richards before his passing in 2014. Veronica grew up with a deep love for music and a strong devotion to her Catholic faith-two pillars that shaped the beautiful life she lived. In her teenage years she played guitar, and alongside her sisters, they formed “The Richards’ Sisters,” that delighted many by singing at local parties and events, even earning second place on the Wilson Amateur Hour on WJAS-just behind the famed Andrews Sisters. Music has became the center of not only her world, but eventually, the family she created too. A faithful member of her St. Michael's parish, Veronica was active in nearly every aspect of church life. She sang in the choir, taught CCD classes, sewed intricate details onto priestly vestments, baked tirelessly for Fish Fry and the church festivals, to then running those tables, and lent her boundless time to the Christian Mothers group. After retiring, Veronica found joy in a simple family life. She was the heart of Sunday dinners, always cooking, baking, and bringing everyone together. Her hands were rarely still-whether sewing, crocheting, creating ceramic pieces, or attending every event her grandchildren participated in. She was a devoted homemaker, and always put her family first. She especially cherished those beach vacations and traveling with her beloved husband during their golden years. By the words of Veronica - "The secret to a long life is laughter."

Geraldine “Gerry” Saccameno, 89, passed peacefully Monday, October 6, 2025, at the St. Anne Home in Greensburg, surrounded by family.
Gerry, affectionately known as “Jammy” by her family, was born December 14, 1935, in Braddock, to the late Albert and Julia Yurko. In 1949, she met the love of her life, Joe, at the movie theater on Braddock Avenue. The two went on to marry, raise three children, and build a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories together. Over the years, they were blessed with four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren whom they loved deeply.
Gerry was a true caregiver. She selflessly cared for her father and brother following her mother’s early passing. She lovingly raised three children of her own and she played a pivotal role in helping to raise her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Gerry’s life was defined by her devotion to family, her devout faith, and her humorous wit. She loved her husband and family unconditionally and was equally loved in return by all those who had the pleasure of knowing her.
