By obits

 

Elana “Lanny” Carmane Cillo-Lundy, passed away peacefully at her daughter’s home, surrounded by her loved ones, on Aug. 21, 2019. She was born June 21, and if we tell you the year she will haunt us forever. She was the daughter of the late Alma and Dominic Cillo. Known lovingly by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren as “Meme,” she enjoyed spending time with them in her lovely home. She admired all art forms and was especially fond of Michelangelo and Vincent van Gogh. Catholic by faith, she was a creative soul that left us with many treasures to remember her. She is survived by her daughter, Terry (John) Chilzer; sons, Regis Lundy and Michael (Rychele) Lundy; grandchildren, Shawna (Tony) Griese, Jeremiah (Camille) Chilzer, Elana (Bjorn) Sahm, Justice Lundy, Jeran Lundy; and great-grandchildren Alexis Griese, Jasmine Griese and Zoey Chilzer. She was preceded in death by her husband, Regis Lundy; and later-in-life partner, Jack “Book” McCarty; daughter, Shawna Pritchard; and brother, Lorry Cillo. Friends will be received in the MARSHALL MARRA FUNERAL HOME, 216 Chess St., Monongahela, 724-258-6767, marshallmarrafuneral.com, from 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 23, 2019.
