Elvera Grace Cataldi, age 88, of Drs Lane, Penfield, PA passed away unexpectedly on Monday, May 25, 2020 at her home.
Born on December 23, 1931, in Cardiff, PA, she was the daughter of the late Enrico Luigi and Rose Josephine (Armanini) Segalla.
She was a graduate of Bennett’s Valley High School Class of 1949.
On July 8, 1950 she married her husband of 69 years, Dr. Francis C. Cataldi. He preceded her in death on October 14, 2019, and she has been lost without him.
Elvera graduated from The Approved University of Beauty Culture in Indianapolis, IN, and was a self-employed beautician in the Valley for 50 years. She loved her customers, many of whom became like family.
She had a green thumb, loved her flowers and could grow anything. She was hard-working and took great pride in a well-kept home.
Elvera was known as “Vera” to family and friends and she could be counted on to cause or share a good laugh. Her daughters will miss her dearly, and her words of wisdom “in Italian” and attention to detail are with them constantly. She loved spending time with her family.
Elvera is survived by her 3 daughters; Renee, Denise and Lisa, 1 brother Angelo (Joann) Segalla and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by 2 sisters; Marie (Francis) Lombardo & Inez (Carl) Salter and 1 brother Frank (Margaret) Segalla.
Elvera was a loving Mother, devoted wife and good friend to many.
