Obituary

Elizabeth J. Peduti, 99, of Marianna, PA, died on Sunday, September 21, 2025. She was born in Latrobe, PA, on September 10, 1926, the daughter of the late Joseph and Frances Walchok Grunwald.

They were married on August 25, 1949.  Together, they raised five children on the farm.

Liz was a homemaker and an active member of the SS. Mary and Ann Roman Catholic Church in Marianna, then St. Oliver Plunkett Parish (now Katherine Drexel Parish). She was an active member of the Christian Mothers Society and the Ladies of Charity at the Church.  She loved her family dearly, hosted many friends at card club evenings, and copiously supplied her family with fresh food from her vegetable garden.  She was avidly involved in a healthy lifestyle and suggested it to all who would listen.
