Obituary

Sophia C. Harenza passed to the other side on Thursday June 18, 2020. She was preceded in death by her husband Frank. Sophia was the last remaining of her brothers and sisters: Mary, Helen, Sue, Betty, John, Lewis and Andy. Also preceded in death by her sister-in-laws Helen and Millie. Sophia was born in Keisterville, Pa on April 14, 1926 and spent her entire married life at the corner of First and Main Streets in Oliver! She was the last surviving member of the "Oliver Mother's." Her side yard was "the place to be" for snow igloos, baseball and football games, truly enjoyed by neighborhood youth. This clearly reveals the love Sophia and Frank had for her children. Sophia was very proud of her family – especially her two great grandchildren Graham and Asher Moreland. She was also blessed to have three grand children: Jeremy, Ian and Rebekah. Oftentimes, she could be found sharing pictures and speaking fondly of their accomplishments. She was also survived by three children and their respective spouses. Jerry (Verna), Sandi (Bill) and Marcie (Scot) Three nieces also are remaining: Chris, Beverly and Susie. Also remaining is a sister-in-law Virginia. Soph was a kind soul with a sweet smile and twinkle in her eye. She never met a stranger! Best known for her bone-in, baked pork chops; she was quite a cook. She was also a sports enthusiast, particularly fond of the Pittsburgh Pirates! She will be sorely missed by her many friends at St. Joseph's Church- especially by fellow Christian Mothers; She was an ardent church member and a life-long Christian Mother. The world has truly lost a beautiful soul. Words cannot express the kindness shown to Sophia, in her final days, by Monarch Meadow owners Dan and Katie and all the strong, supporting caregivers. This certainly was a wonderful, compassionate respite to call home before going to her final resting place.  Private Viewing for family will be held on Friday at Stephen R. Haky Funeral Home, 603. N. Gallatin Ave. Ext, Uniontown. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday at St. Joseph's Church, Old Walnut Hill Road, Uniontown at 10:00 AM (Everyone to meet at church). Interment to follow at Sylvan Heights Cemetery. Donations can be made to the Fayette County Community Action Food Bank in her memory.
