Virginia Glagola Obituary

Virginia M. Glagola, 80, of North Huntingdon, formerly of Clairton, was carried home by her angel on Jan. 19, 2025, after peacefully spending her final days at her residence surrounded by the love and support of her family. She was born Sept. 17, 1944, in McKeesport, daughter of the late Ann Buric Logesky. Virginia enjoyed crafting and baking and was an avid seamstress who enjoyed making her children's clothing. Her children and grandchildren were the focus of her world, as she was selfless, caring, and compassionate, the most beautiful soul. She was formerly employed by Nigro's Restaurant. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband of 53 years, George L. Glagola; and sister, Joanne Galensky. She is survived by her son, George Glagola; daughters, Gia Sanders (Jay) and Kristen Wassel; and grandchildren, Sarah Snyder and Caden Sanders. She is also survived by her brother, Joseph (Patricia) Logesky; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. A private memorial service will be held at JAMES W. SHIRLEY FUNERAL HOME, 176 Clay Pike, North Huntingdon. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to All But Furgotten Animal Shelter. "Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever." www.shirleyfuneralhome.com
