Delores VanFleet Obituary

Delores Van Fleet joined her dearly departed husband and high school sweetheart, Vernon F. Van Fleet, in eternal rest on Saturday afternoon. Delores was a salutatorian graduate of Scott Township High School, Montdale, Pa. She resided in Mountain Top since 1967.

Delores is survived by her son and his wife, Ron and Carol Van Fleet, Fleetville; her daughter and her husband, Lynette Van Fleet-Millet and Fred Millet, Wilkes-Barre; grandchildren, Jennifer Van Fleet-Chesner and her husband, Darrin Chesner, Meshoppen; Damian F. Starkey Jr., Mountain Top; Peter Van Fleet and his fiancée, Melissa Grasso, Fleetville; Lee Van Fleet, Bethlehem; and Victoria Van Fleet, Fleetville; great-grandchildren, Hannah and Connor Chesner, Meshoppen; a sister, Joan Rohl and her husband, Jim, Indianapolis, IN; several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Mary Lazar Pavlisko; her husband, Vernon, in 2009; and her brother, Joseph Pavlisko, in 1978.

A loving mother, daughter, sister and grandmother, she touched the many lives of everyone she knew. Her kindness and caring nature will live forever in the hearts of all that knew her. Her children, grandchildren and friends held a special place in their "DeDe's" heart and will always remember her as someone who was extra special to them. Delores considered her family as a precious gift who made her and their deceased "Pop" millionaires at heart.

A blessing service will be held on Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit. Friends may call on Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. until the time of the service.
