Rose M. Scutella

Rose M. Scutella, 94, of Pinecrest Manor, formerly of Ridgway, passed away Tuesday, December 13, 2022 at Pinecrest Manor.

She was born September 20, 1928 in Kane, PA, daughter of the late Peter and Mary (Migliazzo) Avenali. She was a lifelong resident of the area and a graduate of Kane High School.  She was a dedicated employee of Sylvania for close to 40 years, where she retired.

On May 10, 1947, in St. Callistus Church, she married the late, Pasquale “Pat” Scutella, Jr., who preceded her in death on July 28, 2014.

Rose is survived by her son, John Scutella and his wife, Lori, of St. Marys; two grandchildren: Brandon Scutella (Shauna) of St. Marys and Daniel Scutella (Jilissa) of Curwensville; and five great-grandchildren: Aiden, Isaac, Wrett, Mack, and Kolby Scutella.

Along with her husband and parents, Rose was preceded in death by a daughter in infancy; two sisters: Angie Gabriel and Jenny Polinski; and a brother, John Migliazzo.  She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.

She was a member of the St. Leo’s Catholic Church.  Rose was a hard worker and enjoyed her work but she also found time to enjoy her flower and vegetable gardens and her years spent in Florida with her husband during retirement.  She was a kind-hearted person who made time for anyone and befriended many during her years at Pinecrest Manor.  Rose was a tremendous cook and loved to bake.  Nothing brought her more joy than her family, especially her grandchildren.

Family and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 11:00 AM in the St. Mary’s Catholic Church with the Rev. Thomas More Sikora, OSB, Pastor, officiating. Burial will be in the Parklawn Memorial Gardens.

There will be no visitation.

Memorial contributions, if desired, may be made to the Pinecrest Manor Activity Department, 763 Johnsonburg Road, St. Marys, PA 15857.
