Clara Scavo Obituary
Clara Marie Scavo, 83, of Old Forge, passed away Friday, Jan. 19, 2024, at home.
Born in Pittston, Dec. 8, 1940, she was the daughter of the late Peter and Julia Lussi Nardone.
She was raised in the Old Boston section of Jenkins Twp., and was a graduate of Jenkins Twp.-Yatesville Joint High School, Class of 1958. She was a graduate of beauty school and in her earlier years, self-employed as a beautician.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Santo Scavo, in 2003; brother, Albert "Abie" Nardone; and grandson, Christopher Glasgow.
Surviving are her daughters, Jude Glasgow, Dupont; and Sandra Scavo, Old Forge; grandchildren, Justin (Erika) Glasgow; and Trisjin Spencer; great-grandchildren, Kallie, Nolan, King and Luna; beloved dog, Sassy; and nieces and nephews.
Clara had many passions which included baking, cooking, camping, going on trips and spending time with friends and family. She made friends wherever she went and would talk with them for hours. But her greatest love was her family. She would pass the time playing Scrabble or at the casino, usually on a Sunday after church.
Special thank you to Allied Hospice for the excellent care they provided to Clara.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 9:30 a.m. Friday in St. Joseph Marello Parish, 237 William St., Pittston.
Private interment will be held in Denison Cemetery, Swoyersville.
