She was born on March 9th, 1942, a daughter of the late Frank J. and Virginia (Shaffer) D’Antonio.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Walter L. Bartosh, her sister, Cheryl L. (D’Antonio) Bradford, her brother-in-law, Henry Potts, and several aunts and uncles.

She is survived by her children, Sherry (Jon) Freed, Ronald Bartosh and George Yaccich, her brother, Kenneth (Mary) D’Antonio, her sister, Deborah (D’Antonio) Potts, her grandchildren: Brittany Freed, Courtney, Jocelyn, Jacob, Julia and Eva Bartosh; as well as her great-granddaughter, Grace Noel Newkirk, her special aunt, Donna Lorence, her niece and nephews, Kenneth D’Antonio, Nicole (D’Antonio) Vallecorsa and Keith D’Antonio, two great-nieces, one great-nephew, many cousins and her faithful dog, Petey, who remained by her side during her final days.

Marlane was born at New Brighton Hospital and grew up in Aliquippa. She attended cosmetology school in Aliquippa and began her career working in her Aunt Dordy’s salon. After the birth of her daughter, Sherry, she devoted herself to raising her children and creating a loving home for her family. She took great pride in cooking, baking, and keeping her home spotless. For many years, Sunday dinners at Marlane’s home were a cherished family tradition, bringing loved ones together around the table. She also generously cared for neighborhood children while their parents were at work, extending her nurturing spirit to those around her. In the mid-1980s, she returned to the workforce full-time, first working at PA Fashions and later at Traco/Arconic, where she remained from 1995 until her retirement at the age of 78. She had a fondness for the color lavender and will be remembered for her devotion to her family, her caring nature, and the love she shared with those closest to her.

The family extends its heartfelt gratitude to AHN Hospice for the compassion, kindness, and exceptional care provided to Marlane and her loved ones during her final days.

A visitation will take place at 12 noon until the time of a funeral service at 4 P.M. on Sunday, November 1st at Alvarez-Hahn Funeral Services and Cremation LLC, 547 8th Street, Ambridge, who was in charge of her arrangements.
