Remembering LILLIAN ESTHER DEMARCO - 4/4/32 - 11/24/12

 
DeMARCO
LILLIAN ESTHER (DelCARLO)
Formerly of Mount Lebanon, PA, peacefully went to be with the Lord on November 24, 2012 surrounded by her loving family. Lillian was born on July 4, 1932 in Pittsburgh. She was the devoted daughter of Albert and Kateryna (Jaroma) DelCarlo. Lillian graduated from St Justin's High School where she was awarded the Top English Student of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. She attended Mount Mercy College (Carlow University) on a full scholarship, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a BS in English. An outstanding writer with excellent creative and organizational skills, she performed research and document writing at the American Institute of Research in Pittsburgh. Lillian married her college sweetheart, Albert De Marco, on June 11, 1955 after Albert returned from three years of service as a First Lieutenant in the Korean War. They settled in New Martinsville, WV, where they raised five children and became active in the church and community. Albert's work with PPG Industries took them to Akron, OH, Ponce, Puerto Rico and back to Pittsburgh. Lillian's positive attitude, adventurous spirit and resilience helped guide her family through these transitions and other challenges, including her five surgeries for brain tumors. Albert and Lillian celebrated 38 years of marriage before he passed away from ALS in 1993. Lillian was recognized for her loving heart, brilliance, beauty, creativity and dry sense of humor. Always gracious and generous, she loved spending time with her family, offering encouragement, support and confidence. Lillian will be remembered for her ready smile, her positive attitude and her devotion to family and her many friends. A dedicated and loving mother, Lillian is survived by her five children, Dr. Gina De Marco of Mount Lebanon, PA, Dr. Lisa De Marco (Dr. Leonard Goldman) of Potomac, MD, Ava De Marco (Robert Brandegee) of Pittsburgh, Anthony De Marco of Mt. Lebanon, and Dominic (Jamie) De Marco of Peters Township; and five grandchildren, Ashley De Marco, Bryan and Alexa Goldman, Katelin and Sierra Brandegee; and her brother, Carlo Del Carlo of Anaheim Hills, CA. Friends will be received at LAUGHLIN MEMORIAL CHAPEL, 222 Washington Road, Mt. Lebanon, on Friday, November 30 from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be offered in St. Bernard Church on Saturday, December 1 at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, 960 Penn Avenue, Suite 1000, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
