Mrs. Mary L. DiFonzo

Mary Louise DiFonzo, 85, formerly of Weirton, passed away peacefully at her home in Moon Township, PA, on Monday, October 13, 2025.

Born on August 1, 1940 by her grandmother in her home in Weirton, WV, Mary was one of seven children of Joseph and Pauline Pirraglia Rocchio.

A 1958 graduate of Steubenville Catholic Central High School, Mary went on to marry her high school sweetheart, Andy DiFonzo, on June 11, 1960. Together, they built a loving family grounded in faith, hard work, and devotion. Mary had a keen eye for fashion and beauty. She graduated from the Weirton Beauty Academy, and operated a beauty shop from her home. She was also a licensed phlebotomist.

Mary loved spending time with her family and never wanted to miss a gathering or adventure. She devoted her whole life to her children and grandchildren. She was a devout Catholic and spent hours praying daily. In her younger years she was a great bowler and participated in a league. She enjoyed going to the movies, dining out with friends and loved ones, shopping trips, and a good game of miniature golf. A devoted fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pittsburgh Pirates, Mary also cherished her time living in Cocoa, Florida.

While living in Weirton, she was a member of Saint Joseph the Worker Roman Catholic Church. After relocating to Moon Township, she joined Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Church.
