Edith J. Salo, 68, of Fombell, passed away peacefully on her birthday, Monday, June 20, 2011, surrounded by her family. Born June 20, 1943, in Montana, Edith had a passion for quilting, gardening, flowers and ceramics, but her greatest love was her husband, children and grandchildren. She was a selfless woman who was a true caregiver and was warmly referred to as "Gama" by everyone. She touched many lives and will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered. She is survived by her adoring husband of 47 years, John Salo; and three loving daughters, Christine Swann and her husband, Paul, of Baden, Suzann Charlton and her husband, Lee, of Oakdale, and Bonnie Salo, of Orlando, Fla. In addition, she is survived by five loving grandchildren, Amber, Corinne, Braeden, Hannah and Grant. Friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday at BOYLAN FUNERAL HOME INC., 116 E. Main St., Evans City, PA 16033. A private memorial service will be held by her family Saturday. In lieu of flowers and in continuing her love of children, memorial contributions in her memory may be made to the Make-a-Wish Foundation, The Gulf Tower, 707 Grant St., 37th Floor, Pittsburgh, PA 15219-1916.
