Marlene T. (Piroli) Sarver, 85, of Aliquippa, formerly of San Clemente, California, passed away on December 2nd, 2025. She was born in Aliquippa on March 9th, 1940, a daughter of the late Joseph and Mary Piroli. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 55 years, Robert Sarver, two brothers, John and Art Piroli and a sister, Rose Demma.
Marelene met the love of her life in 1954. They met as young teenagers and shared the love of a lifetime! They married and spent 55 blissful years together with many adventures along the way. Although Marlene was born and raised in Aliquippa, her heart was in California. She and Robert moved to San Clemente, California and purchased the Picadilly Deli. They made many lifelong friends at the deli working together, side by side. Marlene enjoyed plants and truly had a green thumb. Her home was adorned with foliage and not one plant was ever brown. She also had a passion for animals, especially cats. Marlene took in several stray cats over the years who gave her so much love, especially Mia. Every morning Marlene also fed the birds and squirrels, making sure all her neighborhood animal friends had food.
Marlene is survived by her sister-in-law, Betty Jane (Sarver) Schaeffer, her niece, Leah Piroli and her special friend, Patty Avery who were with her to the very end.
Marlene also had many loving friends, including her neighbor, Michelle Zajac, who has helped her through the years and last but not least her Deli Girls from California who always remained in her heart.
In accordance with Marlene’s wishes, there will be no services. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Anthony Mastrofrancesco Funeral Home, Inc., 2026 McMinn Street, Aliquippa.
