Lucille H. Amasino

Lucille Amasino, age 93, passed away peacefully at home on July

13, 2025. She was born in Scranton, PA and grew up in

Braddock. Lucille was the daughter of the late Andrew and Helen

Petrick. She graduated from Scott High in Braddock in 1949 and

earned a bachelor’s degree from Carlow College. Lucille was a

teacher for many years but had a wide variety of jobs throughout

her life; including waitressing & catering, repairing transmissions,

furniture restoration and greeting customers at Walmart.

Lucille was an avid dancer in her youth and won many a Jitterbug

contest with her dance partner “Stoogie”. She was often scolded

by her parents for sneaking out of the house to go to dance halls

all over Pittsburgh.

Lucille loved to travel and enjoyed many adventures with her

sisters Mary Ann and Maxine (deceased). They traveled through

Europe together and visited distant relatives in Slovakia. She also

toured the western United States twice, in different campers, both

of which were less than road-worthy, every break-down and

detour became a story to laugh about later.

Lucille had a generous heart, always welcoming and never

passed up the opportunity to help someone in need.

Lucille was preceded in death by her husband Richard Amasino

and her daughter Alison Amasino. She is survived by her son

Richard (Jan) Amasino, and daughters Lori (Mark) Kovacs and

Marilyn (Paul) Ohr. She has five grandchildren Audra (Dori)

Amasino, Diana (Jan) Amasino, Victor (Rachel) Nichols, Nicole

Kovacs and Luke Ohr. She loved her family well, especially her

grandchildren, in whom she took great pride. They will miss her

carefree spirit, her intense focus, and all the joy and love that she

brought to their lives. The adventures of “Grammy” will be told for

generations with a heartfelt smile.

Per Lucille’s wishes, there will be no service, she had a long-

standing plan to donate her body to science. Lucille always said

that she lived a great life, had a lot of fun and caused a little bit of

trouble along the way!
