Philomena DeSimone

By Wojciechowski Funeral Home | Posted in: Wojciechowski Funeral Home

 

Philomena DeSimone, beloved mother, grandmother, nonna, zia and friend, passed away peacefully on August 8, 2025 at her home, surrounded by her loving family.

How do you summarize an amazing life story in just a few paragraphs?

Born Filomena Mastrobattista on August 12, 1932, in Lenola, Italy, to Cesare Mastrobattista and Elena Lo Stocco, Filomena was the younger of two daughters, loved by her sister Elisa.

In her small mountain village, our Mom grew up sewing with the nuns, playing with friends, and helping her family rebuild after the devastation of World War II. At 17, she married the love of her life, Antonio, and soon followed him to America. Our Mom arrived in New York Harbor on her first daughter’s first birthday, hoping to live the American Dream with our father by her side.

From their Italian homeland to their American home in Glassport, Pennsylvania, our Mom and Dad walked life’s path together with courage, determination, and love, raising six children who carry forward their legacy.

Our Mom worked as a seamstress and later spent 39 years in the South Allegheny High School cafeteria, becoming a familiar, friendly face to generations of students.

Our Mom’s life was defined by her devotion to family, her deep faith, and her unwavering kindness. She was a member of Queen of the Rosary Church and the Christian Mother’s Guild.

Our Mom was beautiful, funny, inquisitive and extremely wise. She often said her greatest accomplishment was us, her children — and we feel the same about her. The values and traditions she and our father shared with us will live on, especially our favorite family holiday of Christmas Eve.

Philomena is survived by her children Josephine (Mike) Tutro, Elena (Tom) Milczarczyk, Antonette (Gary) Cain, Linda (Larry) Kaczka, Anthony DeSimone, and Lisa DeSimone; nine grandchildren; and 8 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Antonio, her baby boy Anthony, her parents, Cesare Mastrobattista and Elena Lo Stocco, and her sister, Elisa.

We love her deeply and will miss her every day.

We will gather to honor and celebrate her remarkable life on Tuesday August 12th from 3-8pm at the Wojciechowksi Funeral Home, Glassport. A funeral mass will be held on Wednesday10am at Queen of the Rosary with Father Tom Burke. Entombment following at New St. Joseph Cemetery, North Versailles.

Robert L. Raymer

By Wojciechowski Funeral Home | Posted in: Wojciechowski Funeral Home

 Robert (Bob) L. Raymer, 71, passed away peacefully after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease, surrounded by the family he so deeply loved.  Born on March 24, 1954, in his family home in Liberty Boro, Pennsylvania, Bob was the beloved son of the late Robert and Shirley Raymer. He is survived by his two sisters: Pat Macchiarolo (Mike Macchiarolo) and their children Christopher, Peter, and Rie; and Sherri Waugh (the late Gerry Waugh) and their children Monte and Lyle.  Bob also leaves behind his former wife, Peggy Wagner, and their three children: Jessica Murray (Austin), Jeremy Raymer, and Luke Raymer (Lauren Kyle). He was the proud grandfather of five adoring grandchildren: Finnegan, Sullivan, and Emerson Murray, and Ford and Vada Raymer.  Bob was a man of immense talent and passion, whose creativity touched every part of his life. After completing a four-year apprenticeship, he became a journeyman carpenter, mastering the art of woodworking. With a love for antiques and a remarkable eye for detail, he became highly skilled in restoring antique furniture—buying, refinishing, and selling countless treasured pieces. His craftsmanship extended to the restoration of a 200-year-old farmhouse, which he lovingly transformed into a colonial home filled with history and charm, where he lived with his family. Later in life, Bob discovered a new calling in energy work and intuitive healing. He moved to California, where he spent 16 years helping and healing others—transforming lives in ways that many of his clients will never forget. Bob had a deep love for good music, delicious food, beekeeping, raising chickens, antiques, thunderstorms, and above all else, his children and grandchildren. His pride in their accomplishments was unwavering, and he found endless joy in their stories and successes. He lived life on his own terms—simply, authentically, and always with an appreciation for nature and the beauty in the world around him. Bob himself was truly one of a kind. His vibrant smile, infectious laugh, and the love he shared with those around him will be forever remembered. His loss leaves a void that can never be filled. May he rest in eternal peace and continue to watch over the family he so deeply loved. Memorial contributions can be made to the Parkinson’s Foundation.
