After a courageous battle of cancer, Trenda L. Malizia, passed away Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at UPMC Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh. She was born in New Castle on August 21, 1956, the daughter of the late Aaron and Thelma (Weir) Saesan. She was married to the late George Malizia who precedes her in death. Trenda worked for several years at the Ramada Inn in Youngstown, 26 Bar & Grill where she was a chef, and most recently, worked at La Casa Care Facility as a personal care aide. Trenda’s greatest passion was cooking for others. She enjoyed the times she spent with her family, especially her nieces and nephews, “she was everybody’s aunt!”. Her dog, Barron, was her greatest enjoyment. She was an avid Cincinnati Bengal’s fan, because of her nephew, Geno Stone. Trenda has a huge heart and will be remembered as a loving and caring soul.
She is survived by two sisters, Connie Flora and her husband Sam, and Cathy Cook and her husband William, and several nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was also preceded in death by one brother, Stanley Chmura, and two sisters, Martha Green and Deborah Stone.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the William F. & Roger M. DeCarbo Funeral Home, 926 Cunningham Avenue.
