Mrs. Sabatelli was a 1947 graduate of Lost Creek High School where she was Valedictorian of her class. She was a member of the St. James Catholic Church where she was also a member of the Altar Rosary Society and served as the church secretary having retired at age 91 with over 40 years of service.

Mrs. Sabatelli was a homemaker and enjoyed cooking, canning and baking, especially making Pita Piatas and Christmas cookies. In her later years she loved watching WVU sports and she also loved the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers. Her greatest joy was raising her children. She enjoyed passing down her Italian traditions to her family, especially the feast of the seven fishes on Christmas Eve and ringing the church bell on New Year’s Eve.

Her family will greatly miss her special sense-of-humor and her “Nunna-isms”.
The family would like to thank caregiver, Nancy Tate, and WVU Hospice for the excellent care of their mother and grandmother.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in her honor to the St. James Altar Rosary Society, 2107 Pride Avenue, Clarksburg WV 26301
