Louise Anna Sellitti, 97, of Weirton, passed away peacefully on July 13, 2025. Born on June 24, 1928, in Burgettstown, Louise was one of eight children to Joseph and Rose Frantar Gruber.

A 1946 graduate of Union High School in Burgettstown, Louise was a member of St. Joseph the Worker Roman Catholic Church. She embraced her role as a homemaker with grace, dedicating her life to her family and nurturing a warm and welcoming home filled with family photographs, especially of her beloved grandchildren.

Louise was known for her exceptional baking and cooking, often delighting family and friends with her famous cookies known to all.

She had a deep appreciation for nature and relished spending time at the Outer Banks, creating unforgettable memories with her family. A lover of music, she grew up dancing to Slovenian polkas and always joined her grandchildren on the dance floor at family weddings especially for "Sweet Caroline".

With a brilliant mind and vibrant spirit, Louise remained 'sharp as a tack' even at 97. She was an avid reader, immersing herself in books and served as the family's go-to source for news, always keeping everyone informed and connected.

In addition to her parents, Louise was preceded in death by her husband, Mr. Anthony Sellitti, brothers Joseph and Edward Gruber, and sisters Rose Herda, Mary Thornburg, Virginia Montequin, Margaret Rencheck, and Dorothy Dalesio.

Her loving family that survives her are sons, David Ozenbaugh, of Youngstown, OH. Gary (Antoinette) Ozenbaugh of Littlestown, PA, daughters Jeanne (William) Lockmer of Gibsonia, PA, Barbara (Edward) Doyle of Jenkintown, PA, Jackie (Louis) DeNonno of Seattle, WA, daughter-in-law, Amy Jones-Ozenbaugh of Philadelphia, PA, and eleven grandchildren Bryan (Nicole) Lockmer, Eric (Ashley) Lockmer, Matthew Ozenbaugh, Sophia (Siva) Josyula, Christopher (Hilary) Ozenbaugh, Eddie (Alexa) Doyle, Schuyler Ozenbaugh, Sean (Liddy) Doyle, Olivia DeNonno, Madeline Doyle, Gabrielle DeNonno and four great grandchildren.

Friends can visit Louise's family at 10 am on Monday, July 21, 2025, at St Joseph the Worker Roman Catholic Church, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 am.

Rev. Dennis R. Schuelkens, Jr., will preside.

Entombment will follow immediately in St. Paul's Cemetery.
