Lucille Lorenzi Dubrovich, 91, of Belle Vernon, died April 4, 2023, at The Residence at Hilltop, Monongahela, surrounded by her family. Born June 22, 1931, in Smithton, she was the daughter of the late Lucilo and Virginia Paoli Lorenzi. A resident of Belle Vernon for over 60 years, Mrs. Dubrovich was Catholic by faith. She enjoyed spending time playing cards with her family and her card club of over 50 years. She also enjoyed her monthly “class reunions.” In addition, she was an avid photographer and loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is survived by her son, Joseph Dubrovich Jr. and wife Drena of Dillsburg; two daughters, Susan Kosanko (Dwight) and Marilyn Bradley, both of Rostraver Township; sister, Marie Rebottini of Perryopolis; seven grandchildren, David (Joy) Dubrovich, Matthew (Rachael) Dubrovich, Amy (Stuart) Ross, Michelle Meadway (Matthew Johnson), Jeremy (Lauren) Meadway, Janiel Bradley (Tyler Mucci) and Brooke Bradley; six great-grandchildren, Isaac, Matthew, Payton, Olivia, Madeleine and Freya; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Dubrovich Sr.; two sisters, Virginia Yanniello and Loretta Kabaci; one son-in-law, Lanny A. Bradley; and grandson, Wes Bradley. The family would like to extend their gratitude to The Residence at Hilltop, where their mother enjoyed her last few years. She enjoyed the friendships she made, playing cornhole and the excellent care she received while she was there. A private family visitation will be held at PARZYNSKI FUNERAL HOME & CREMATIONS, family owned and operated, 626 Broad Ave., Belle Vernon, 724-929-6183. Interment will take place in Olive Branch Cemetery. Condolences accepted at the funeral home’s website, www.parzynskifuneralhome.com.
