Donna Kay Bianchi, 77, of McDonald, passed away surrounded by family Sunday morning, March 11, 2018, in her home, following a lengthy illness.
She was born August 31, 1940, in Washington County, a daughter of the late Richard and Martha Davis Wagner of Sturgeon.
Mrs. Bianchi was a 1958 graduate of South Fayette High School and member of the “Little Green Machine” Marching Band.
On July 21, 1962, she married Joseph Eugene Bianchi, and they spent the next 55 years sharing a love beyond words. Together they began a family surrounded by the love and values they both held so dear.
Mrs. Bianchi spent her life as a dedicated and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She always put the happiness and well-being of others before her own and passed on that love and devotion to her entire family. She loved her family with a passion not many could rival, and was a constant reminder that love is not something said in passing, but rather shown through a lifetime filled with gestures of kindness, generosity and a quiet pride in those you love.
Surviving are her devoted husband, Joseph E. Bianchi Sr. of McDonald; a daughter, Tracy (John) Werhel of Burgettstown; a son, Joseph (Kim) Bianchi Jr. of McDonald; seven grandchildren, Trista (Ben) Snatchko, Bill (Kylee) Craig, Joseph (Emily) Bianchi, Adam Werhel, Bryce Craig, Kristina Bianchi and Jordan Bianchi; six great-grandchildren, Lorelei, Waylon, Alivia, Henry, Charlee and Annika; a sister, Dessie (Joseph) Almady of McDonald; a nephew, Keith (Darcy) Almady and their children; and a brother, Richard “Dick” (Helen) Wagner and their family.
Mrs. Bianchi’s caregiver Loretta, her nurse Barb, and the staff at Gallagher Hospice Service took amazing care of her. Because of them, she was able to find peace in the house she spent a lifetime making into a home.
In following her final wishes, all funeral services at Thomas-Little Funeral Service, McDonald, will be kept private.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, memorial donations are suggested to Angel Ridge Animal Rescue, 390 Old Hickory Ridge Road, Meadow Lands, PA 15347 (724-229-7053), or Gallagher Hospice Service, 1370 Washington Pike, Suite 401B, Bridgeville, PA 15017.
