Jean Lenzi's Obituary
Jean "Gina" Lenzi, of Monongahela, passed away peacefully with family at her side on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 at the age of 98. She was born in Gallatin on November 20, 1919, the daughter of Piacentino (Pete) and Bertha Biagini Lenzi.
Jean loved the food business her entire life. During the 1940's and 50's, she managed and was a butcher at the Webster Meat Market. In the evenings, she worked with her mother and father at their restaurant, the Starlite Inn in Monongahela. After the passing of her parents in 1959, Jean took over the restaurant and in 1962, built the current Lenzi's Restaurant in Monongahela. She was an excellent cook and baker and was known for her biscotti's and nut rolls. Jean worked at the restaurant with her family, John, Louise, Jay, Tim and his wife, Jennifer Timko until her retirement at the age of 85.
Jean is survived by numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and great great nieces and nephews. Aunt Jean was dearly loved by her great nephews and their families, Jay, Dawn and Gianna Timko, Tim, Jennifer and Andrew Timko.
Jean was the last of her immediate family. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by three brothers, Lou and Geno and her twin, Geno, who died in infancy; and six sisters, Lillian, Liberty, Elizabeth, Mary and Alba who died in infancy and one other infant sister; two nephews, Charles Fritch and Robert Lenzi; and her niece, Marlene Ferdinando.
The family wishes to thank the staff at the Mon Valley Care Center as well as her caregivers from Amedisys Hospice for all they have done for her. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Kilpatrick for his years of care and compassion.
Ms. Lenzi requested no visitations. A private memorial service will be held at a later date.
The family suggests memorial contributions be made to the St. Damien of Molokai Food Bank, 722 W. Main Street, Monongahela, PA 15063.
