Olga H. Pasquarella (Baba), 93, passed away peacefully Tuesday, February 6, at Gables Care Center.

She was born on February 13, 1924 in Wolf Run Ohio, the daughter of Yaroslav and Anna Repella Halkovich. She was a member of All Saints Orthodox Church, Wolf Run Ohio, and later Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church, Steubenville where she was a faithful and devoted member.

Olga served the WWII effort as a Rosie the Riveter by bucking rivets on the wings of the C-47. After the war she became a devoted wife and mother. Her smiling face could be found at Pasquarella’s Beverage Center where she worked with her husband Joe. She will be remembered for the many delicious meals she prepared for all who were welcome, her love for her husband, children, grandchildren and her deep unwavering faith and love of church. She enjoyed word search puzzles, playing Bingo, watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. She was known for saying “Come here, let me give you a kiss”.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sisters Mary Milley and Helen Faccinto,
