Clara DeVito Obituary
Clara Elizabeth DeVito passed away peacefully on March 3rd, 2017 in Sharon, PA at the age of 84.
Clara is survived by Victor DeVito, her husband of 63 years. They lived in Hermitage, PA in the same home for the span of their entire married life, until Victor entered Hospitality Care Nursing Home in 2005 due to complications from Alzheimer’s disease.
Clara was born on September 26th, 1932 in Farrell, PA to Dominick and Elizabeth Bosco. She graduated from Farrell High School in 1950. She and Victor were married on May 1st, 1954. Clara was a lifelong member of Our Lady of Fatima Church Farrell, PA.
Clara is survived by a sister, Theresa Jacobo of La Puente, CA and was preceded in death by two brothers, John Bosco of Mobile, AL and Edmund Del Papa of Sharon, PA. She is also survived by her three children: Dawn (Richard) West of Mission Viejo, CA, Victor DeVito Jr. of Hermitage, PA and Judy Townsen of Long Beach, CA, and by her grandchildren: Megan DeVito of Hermitage, Kyle West of Mission Viejo, CA and Michael DeVito of Plantation, FL and by 3 great grandchildren.
Clara was an accomplished cook and baker. She would often watch the Food Network, go to the grocery store for ingredients, and then replicate the recipe, which always turned out incredibly delicious. She enjoyed flower gardening and yoga, and was a member of the Hickory Women’s Club for decades and volunteered at the polls on Election Day. Her true passion was for her children and grandchildren, who will miss her greatly.
The family would like to thank caregivers at Clepper Manor and the hospital staff at Sharon Regional Hospital for their dedication to our beloved Mom.
