Festa

Michelle Sara Festa, of Cranberry Township, beloved wife and best friend of Daryl Festa, wonderful mother of Ariel, Avery, Samson and Trinity and grandmother to Eleanor, was called home to be with the Lord on Sunday, Sept. 28, 2025.

She grew up in Allentown, Pa. as the youngest of three siblings, Carole, Laurence and Mark, to parents Carl and Margaret Olson.

She was a mechanical engineer with a degree from Penn State University, where she met the love of her life, her husband, Daryl. Michelle was a faithful woman of God and a true disciple maker. The most important thing to her was her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

She loved her family, especially her two bulldogs, Luna and Newman, her dear friends, and almost any animal including her three cats, her fish, and every animal she could get to her bird feeder. She will be dearly missed by everyone who was blessed to know her.

FESTA — A celebration of life for Michelle Sara Festa, who died Sunday, Sept. 28, 2025, will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18, at Christ Church at Grove Farm, 249 Duff Road, Sewickley.
