Janet M. Primo

Janet M. (LoFaso) Primo, age 77, a lifelong resident of Monaca, Pennsylvania, unexpectedly
passed away on Thursday, October 31, 2024, at her Monaca residence. Born in Rochester,
Pennsylvania, Janet was a wonderful mother who was always there when she was needed
the most, offering support, wisdom, and love in abundance.
She was the daughter of the late Samuel and Lena (Bonanno) LoFaso. She was the devoted
wife of 58 years to Frank Primo with whom she built a beautiful family. Together, they
raised three children: Michelle (Daniel) Cronin, Anthony (Christine) Primo, and Angela
Benson. Janet's joy multiplied with the arrival of her cherished grandchildren: Emily (Alec)
Ingros, Madelyn, Benjamin, and Grace Cronin, Conner and Matthew Benson, Madison,
Abigail, and Jacob Primo. She also leaves two brothers: Sam (Linda) LoFaso and Tom (Anna)
LoFaso and numerous nieces, nephews, and godchildren. Janet was preceded in death by
her grandson, Nicholas.
Professionally, Janet held various roles in catering, food services management, and
furniture sales. Janet's love for her Savior and Lord Jesus was a major influence in how she
lived out her life. As a long-time member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Monaca,
she found solace and strength in her community of faith. Her commitment to her church
extended beyond attendance. She served as a CCD teacher, lector, Eucharistic minister and,
after the death of her grandson, Janet became a guiding force in the Grief Share program at
both St. John's and later at St Francis Cabrini Catholic Churches. Janet's understanding and
empathy provided a source of comfort, healing, and friendship for those grieving the loss of
a loved one.
Her ability to listen and her willingness to share her own experiences made Janet a saving
grace to many. Her legacy of care and support will be remembered by those she helped
during their most challenging times.
Janet's influence will continue to be felt. Her love for her family, her passion for helping
others, and her deep faith have left an indelible mark on the world. The family will now
commence to fighting over her recipes for her homemade sauce, meatballs, noodles, and
pizzelles!
In adhering to her wishes, all services will be private.
