Mary Lorraine Leban, 92, of McDonald passed away on Saturday, December 20, 2014 in St. Clair Hospital.
She was born on August 29, 1922 in Latrobe, the daughter of the late Anton and Mary Zagar Sivavec.
During World War II, Mary proudly worked for Dravo as a drill press operator. She was a resident of Gladden Heights for most of her life and had attended St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church in McDonald. She volunteered as a 4-H Leader in McDonald for many years. Mary was also a long standing member of the SNPJ Lodge 138 in Strabane.
Mary had a full appreciation of life and wanted to keep her loved ones close. Her family was her priority. Much effort went into gardening and cooking healthy meals for her family. Faith was another priority in Mary's life. She felt as she was one with the Lord.
On July 15, 1950 she married Anton A. Leban, who passed away on March 27, 2010.
