Mildred Delost
Mildred “Millie” Emma Delost, 88, of Emlenton, formerly of North Hills, passed away at the Shippenville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on Wednesday, July 14, 2021, after a lengthy illness.
Mildred was born Dec. 31, 1932, in Pittsburgh. She is the daughter of the late Ferdinand and Emma Karastesy Karastury. She was married to the late Donald Delost, who passed in 2010.
Mildred moved from North Hills to Emlenton with her husband, where they had spent years building a home together. She attended Saint Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church in Emlenton, Pa., when her health permitted.
The most important thing in her life was her family, especially her three sons. She loved to cook, and most importantly loved to feed. She was a nanny for many years to numerous families. Mildred will be remembered as being smart, hardworking, caring, and could do anything that she set her mind to.
Mildred is survived by her three sons, Andrew (Michele) Delost of South Carolina, Dan Delost of Emlenton and Bob (Amy) Delost of Pittsburgh; her five grandchildren, Bryan Delost and Sienna (James) Fagan of South Carolina as well as Mya, Mason, and Makenna Delost of Pittsburgh; and her four great-grandchildren, Lucas and Elle Delost, along with Chloe and Sophie Fagan of South Carolina. She is also survived by her nurse of many years, Tracy, to who the family would like to say a special thank you to for her great care.
