Genevieve “Jenny” Oreski, 99, of Monroeville passed peacefully on Friday Aug.23. We are comforted knowing she will be reunited with her husband John "Zip" Oreski, her parents Stephen and Eleanora Kazusky, brothers Walter, Raymond, and Edward Kazusky, sister Elanore Suter.
Jenny was a loving mother to her children Annette (Dana) Rimer, Oakdale; Joan (Jack) O'Toole, Monroeville; John (Barb) Oreski, Level Green; Michele (Rege) Peternel, Stevensville, MD; Ami Jo (Eric) Akins, Derry. She was blessed to be Grandma Jenny to her 10 grandchildren and 10 great- grandchildren.
Jenny was a talented crafter enjoying ceramics, cross-stitch and sewing; recipients of her gifts treasure her work. She was a member of the American Rosie Riveter Association for her work making Army helmets during the War effort at Micarta in Trafford. She was grateful to be able to attend Daily Mass until she was 96, and looked forward to her weekly salon visits.

Comfort Care Unit at Forbes Hospital, Monroeville.
