Lois M. (Barto) Chverchko

CHVERCHKO, LOIS M., 99, Patton, passed away May 19, 2025, at Garvey Manor, Hollidaysburg.  Born June 30, 1925, in Westover, the last surviving member of the George and Besse (Kitchen) Barto family.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband, Henry Chverchko, who died February 13, 2012; sisters, Doris Kelly Gearhart, Margaret Roland, and Shirley Fry; and brothers, Darrell and Robert Barto.  Survived by daughters Joy, wife of Ralph Nagle, Patton; Patricia, wife of Gary Miller, Ashville; and Linda, wife of Dennis Van Scoyoc, Tyrone; 7 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren.  A devout catholic who lived her life guided by her deep faith, Lois was the oldest member of St. Augustine Catholic Church.  She was a member of the Altar & Rosary Society, enjoyed being active at church events, and looked forward to the annual picnic each summer.   At home she filled her time completing word books, sometimes two a day, and puzzles. Trips to the Sight and Sound Theater and the annual Dickens of a Christmas Celebration in Ebensburg were among her favorite outings but just being out-and-about with her daughters was a regular delight.  Above all, Lois was happiest in her role as wife, mother, and grandmother; she loved her children and their families deeply and made them her priority.  She will be deeply missed.  Family and friends will be received at St. Augustine Church on Friday, May 23, 2025, from 9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.   Funeral Mass will follow at 11:00 a.m. with Fr. Robert Reese officiating.  Committal, church cemetery.
