Perryopolis
Olga Mychalisn Pierotti, 95, of Perryopolis, passed away Monday, Feb. 24, 2020, at her home. Born May 11, 1924, in Donora, she was the daughter of the late John and Christina. Olga was a resident of Perryopolis for the past 70 years. Mrs. Pierotti worked as “Rosie the Riveter” during World War II, making munitions and war supplies. Right after the war, she met her husband on a blind date. Olga often said her most entertaining job was working as a waitress at the legendary supper club, The Twin Coaches. She met entertainers from Liberace to Sonny and Cher. The fondest family memories Olga had were of Sunday picnics. Olga loved to cook, bake and sew; her recipes continue to give comfort and love. She is survived by her husband Peter P. Pierotti, to whom she was married 70 years; a daughter, Christine Steiner of Perryopolis; three grandchildren, Neal Pierotti and his wife Esther, Jeffrey Pierotti and his wife Erin, Sarah Walker and her husband Jason; and six great-grandchildren, Merik, Mason, Morgan, Thea, Gracyn and Oliver. She is preceded in death by her son, Jeffrey Pierotti; a brother, Nick Mychalisn; and five sisters, Kathryn Parquet, Mary Kiefer, Esther Mychalisn, Helen Bahay and Alice Mychalisn. Visitation will be held Friday from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at PARZYNSKI FUNERAL HOME & CREMATIONS LLC, family owned and operated, 191 Liberty St., Perryopolis, Pa., 724-736-2515. Prayers of Transfer will be held at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 29, in the funeral home followed by Funeral Mass at 10 at St. John The Baptist Roman Catholic Church with the Rev. Efren Ambre as celebrant. Interment will take place in St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Cemetery. Members of St. John the Baptist parish will pray the rosary for the departed soul of Olga at 3 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28, in the funeral home. The family would like to thank Fayette Hospice nurses for the guidance and comfort they provided during Olga’s last days.
