By obits

 

Mary Lou DiPiazza, 78, of Charleroi, peacefully went to be with the Lord on Monday, April 15, 2024, surrounded by her beloved husband and children. Mary Lou was born on April 1, 1946, to the late George and Lena Bondi Zurivich. Throughout her life, Mary Lou was a member of Saint Andrew the Apostle Parish Church – Charleroi Site and was a member of the Athene Club. She was elected borough auditor, was a member of the Charleroi Recreational Board and was an esteemed Charleroi PTA president. While Mary Lou was a woman of many talents and passions, none were as cherished as her love for camping, cooking and reading. She had great enthusiasm for camping, where many memories were made around the campfire with friends and family. She hosted unforgettable Christmas Eve parties, where her warmth and generosity brought joy to all who attended. Mary Lou’s memory will be carried on by her husband of over 60 years, David F. DiPiazza; sons, Daniel G. (Dawn Pipik) DiPiazza and Doug (Kelly) DiPiazza; daughter, Deanna (Jeff) Biddle; daughter-in-law, Kim DiPiazza; grandchildren, Devin DiPiazza, Deia Biddle, Gianna Biddle, Dax DiPiazza and Jeffery Biddle; great-granddaughter, Sunny Biddle; and nephew, Steven Bransburg. In addition to her parents, Mary Lou is preceded in death by her beloved son, David F. DiPiazza Jr., whose memory she held dear in her heart; and her sister, Katherine Bransburg. Friends and family will be received from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 18, 2024, at HOGAN-MELENYZER FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES INC., 226 Fallowfield Ave., Charleroi, PA 15022.
