Ann Pergola, 96, of Monongahela, died Wednesday, October 10, 2018 in the Mon Valley Care Center. She was born December 11, 1921 in Huntingdon, the daughter of Angelo and Nicholina Champa Cialone.
Ann was employed at the former Monongahela Memorial Hospital in New Eagle where she worked in the dietary department. She then worked at the Monongahela Valley Hospital in both the dietary and laundry departments, retiring with over twenty years of employment. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Monongahela and it's Gibson Class. In her younger years, she bowled with the Monongahela Memorial Hospital's bowling league and looked forward to planting her vegetable garden with her husband, Aldo. She loved to cook, enjoyed planting flowers, and had a special knack for crocheting and knitting, often creating her own designs.
Over the past years of needing caregivers before and during her residency at the Mon Valley Care Center, the family would like to extend a special thank you to everyone who cared for Ann, especially Barb, the staff at the Care Center and ViaQuest Hospice. A heartfelt thanks to Joan, who was our rock throughout these last weeks and lovingly took care of our mom and our family.
