Anna (Lemak) Warhola of West Homestead on Saturday Nov 12, 2016.

Being the oldest child, she had the most responsibility to take care of all of her siblings and at the same time start work outside of the house to help pay expenses. It was the Great Depression so cleaning houses for a dollar was good solid work.
