Carol Ann (Domenick) Martella, 78, of Hopewell Township, passed away on April 6th,
2024, surrounded by her loving family, at Good Samaritan Hospice after a hard-fought
battle with cancer. She was born on August 6th, 1945, to the late Dan and Anne Domenick. In addition to her parents, Carol was preceded in death by her mother and father-in-law, Carmine and Josephine Martella and her sister-in-law Anne Domenick.
Carol is survived by her devoted and loving husband of 53 years, Paul Martella, and her two children, Danielle (Scott) Joseph of Upton, Massachusetts; Paul (April) Martella Jr. of Hopewell Township; her grandchildren Benjamin and Ayden Joseph, and Domynik and Gabriel Martella; her brother Dan Domenick (Luminada) of Coraopolis; sister in laws, Loretta Martella of Aliquippa, and Angela (Gary) McHenry of Hopewell Township and two nephews, Joe (Rebecca) McHenry and Nick McHenry.
After graduating from Montour High School in 1964, Carol attended Pittsburgh Beauty
Academy. She began her career working at a salon in Coraopolis before leaving to
become a mother and homemaker. She continued styling hair for her family and friends out of her home for many years after.
Carol was a loving and devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, sister-in-law,
grandmother, aunt, cousin, and amazing friend to so many. She loved spending time
with her family, especially her four grandchildren.
Carol was a member of Our Lady of Fatima church and volunteered her time every year to run various booths at the Fatima Festival, most notably the “cotton candy” booth.
She actively participated in her children’s sporting activities, fundraisers, school
functions and anything else that came her way.
Aside from her family, two other passions were her crafts and her love of bowling. She
held several bowling board positions (president, vice president and treasurer) through
her bowling career and when her health stopped her from playing, she still showed up
weekly and remained involved by helping to count money or other areas of need. She
bowled in two leagues on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, alongside her mother-in-law
Josephine. Carol also loved her crafts. Whether it was for the holidays or something she learned from her craft group or TV, her family and friends always reaped the benefits of her latest creation.
Family and friends are welcome to attend a Mass of Christian burial, Wednesday, April 10, at 11:30 am in Our Lady of Fatima Church, 2270 Broadhead Road, Aliquippa. Interment will follow at Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
Caroll’s memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who were touched by her
kindness, strength, and unwavering spirit.
The family would like to thank the incredible staff at Good Samaritan Hospice for the
loving and compassionate care that was extended to Carol.

Richard H. “Skeeter” Eiler, 72, of Darlington, passed away on the evening of April 6, 2024. He was born on June 21, 1951, and was preceded in death by his parents, William and Henrietta Eiler, and his brother, David Eiler. Rick’s absence will be deeply felt by his beloved wife of 52 years, Sherry; his daughters, Brandy (Paul) Woods and Candice (Bob) Sprecker; his grandchildren, Austin and Maura Woods; his step-grandchildren and great step-grandchildren; his sister, Billie (Bill) Jenkins; and a host of nephews, nieces, and cousins. While most knew him as Rick, he held a special fondness for the name “Pappy,” as bestowed upon him by his beloved grandchildren Austin and Maura, whom he cherished dearly. His legacy is one of profound love for his family, a passion for the great outdoors, and unwavering and dedicated service to his country.

Rick’s passion for hunting and nature was evident to all who knew him. His eyes would light up as he shared tales of all his outdoor adventures. He would often reminisce about memorable moments in the woods with his father, children, grandson, and friends. Rick would always refer to the outdoors as his “Happy Place,” where he could sit and find solace.  Rick wasn’t just an exceptional hunter; he also excelled as a teacher of the outdoors. He loved to share his knowledge and expertise with those around him, helping them distinguish various plants, trees, and wildlife.

He was also a member of the North Country Trail Wampum Chapter, where he took great pride in contributing to the trail in any capacity that he could. Over the years, he could often be spotted cleaning, marking, and crafting the trail, as well as repairing broken equipment for the Wampum Chapter.

As a testament to his passion for the outdoors, Rick was an active member of The Zelienople Sportsman’s Club, where he served on the board and held the position of Vice President in past years. His contributions to the club and its members will be remembered fondly.

Beyond his love for nature, Rick was always willing to provide support for those around him, whether he knew you or not. Always ready to lend a helping hand. His dedication to service extended beyond his community as he proudly served his country during the Vietnam War in the U.S. Army with the 97^th Signal Battalion out of Manheim Germany.

In the quiet rustle of leaves and the echoing call of wildlife, Rick’s spirit will live on, forever remembered for his love of family, nature, and country.

Friends will be received on Thursday, April 11th from 4pm-7pm in the GABAUER FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, INC.- 1133 Penn Avenue, New Brighton, PA 15066.
