By obits

 

Louise Ann “Lou Ann” Kovalsky, 64, of Rostraver Township, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, June 5, 2022. A loving daughter of Norma Jean Fatkin Micher and the late Bernard James Micher, she was born April 24, 1958, in Pittsburgh. She was employed by Rotolo Motors as a bookkeeper and later office manager for 32 years. In addition to her father, she was preceded in death by her husband, Hugh T. Kovalsky, in 2013. She is survived by a son, Matthew James Kovalsky and his wife Constance and their son Levi James, all of Donora; and a sister, Lois Giuliani and her husband David and nephew Joe, all of McDonald. She is also survived by many cousins and in-laws. Affectionately known as “Grammy” to her grandson, Levi, they enjoyed all of their time together. He was her pride and joy! She was a great “cat mom” to her kitties and they will forever miss her. Visitation and funeral services will be private at the request of the family. Arrangements have been entrusted to FERGUSON FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY INC., 700 Broad Ave., Belle Vernon, 724-929-5300, www.FergusonFuneralHomeandCrematory.com.
