Grace T. "Dolly" (Ruprecht) O'Barto, age 85, of McCandless, on Sunday, November 10, 2024. Beloved wife of the late James A. O'Barto.
Loving mother of Lisa M. Brown, James A. O'Barto, Jr. (Heather), and Lori Visgalia; grandmother of Cody Brown, Bruin Brown, Nash Brown, Antonio O'Barto, Dominic O'Barto, Duke Lundahl, and Gianna Lundahl; sister of Harry Ruprecht (Barb), Fred Ruprecht (Vicki), and Joe Disalvo (Renae).
Grace - "Dolly" as most knew her by, loved to volunteer at the Women's Shelter to care for others, including her brothers. She also worked at a Savings-in-loan Bank before she took on the bookkeeping task at her parent's Napa Auto Parts store in Zelienople. Her next venture after her husband passed, was working at her daughter Lisa's gyms, running the front desk, checking people in, billing and just talking and getting to know everyone who walked in the door by name. She had a real gift of making everyone feel special with her infectious smile and laughter. Her final joy in life, was spending time with her grandchildren, watching them grow, attending their sporting events and just spending time with them and telling them stories of the past. She will truly be missed by all.
No viewing. Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, November 15th at 10:30 a.m. in St. Ursula Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, 3945 Kirk Ave, Allison Park, PA 15101. Arrangements entrusted to Schellhaas & Sons Funeral Home, Sewickley, PA.

Ron and I knew Dolly and Jim for 63 years. We would camp at Pioneer Park and we would see a yellow cadilac coming up towards our camp site. It would be Dolly and Jim just stopping in for coffee. We had fun at football games, going out together, playing cards and just being with each other. We were like family. We have missed Jim a lot and now Dolly. She was a special person who we loved. Going to miss her a lot.
