DELLA SALA ANNE B. On the evening of December 22, 2016, Anne Della Sala, co-founder of Della Sala's Pizza in Penn Hills, died peacefully just three weeks shy of her 93rd birthday. Anne was born to Antonio Butch (Bucci) and Giacinta (Sciulli) Butch in Warren, Ohio on January 11, 1924. She graduated from Warren G. Harding High School and worked in Warren for six years as a secretary, first for Grinell Corporation and later for General Motors. Anne Married in 1948 and moved to the Oakland Section of Pittsburgh with her husband, Augustine Della Sala. The couple had three children, and in 1955, they moved to the suburb of Penn Hills. At the time Augie was driving a bread truck for Nabisco and Anne was Selling Avon products. In October of 1959, Anne and Augie opened a Pizza Shop on Verona Road. For over 30 years the couple worked in their shop, intent on serving the community with the best product they could produce. The proof of their success is that the business still operates successfully 57 years after its founding. Anne was a member of St. Joseph Church in Verona. After her retirement in 1991, she was deeply involved in church activities. A member of both the Christ Child Society and the ladies of charity, up until her 90th birthday, Anne volunteered at Seneca Place in Penn Hills to lead the rosary for elderly residents. In addition to her parents, Anne was preceded in death by her husband, Augustine; and six siblings, Sabbia (Lucille), Vincent (Jimmy), Elodia (Dia), Mary, Albert and Anthony, Jr. She is survived by her three children, Thomas (Cheryl) of Schenectady, NY, Anthony (Beth) of Plum, and Connie Matthews of Penn Hills. She also leaves behind eight grandchildren, Joe, Kristy, Anina, Adam, Augie, Kaytrin, Anthony, and Angela; and five great-grandchildren, Adriana, Alyssa, Bella, Aria and Lucca. Anne was loved and revered by every member of her family and just about everyone else that knew her. She had countless friends. It probably says more about her, though, that she didn't have a single enemy. Anne was a tireless worker, incredibly generous, a tremendous wife, mother and grandmother (Nana) for the ages. Above all else, she was a good catholic girl, right to her core, for all 92-plus years of her life. It is for these qualities that she will be remembered. And these qualities, the essence of who she was, explain why she will be so sorely missed. Friends received in the WILLIAM F. GROSS FUNERAL HOME, LTD., 11735 Frankstown Road (at Rodi Road), Penn Hills on Wednesday, December 28, 2016 and Thursday, December 29, 2016, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Prayers Friday December 30, 2016, 10:30 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial in St. Joseph Church, 11 a.m. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Joseph's Church, 825 Second Street, Verona, PA 15147.

MORRISON LESA B. Age 53, passed away the first week of December in Nairobi, Kenya, where she had been doing research on the Luo people. She perished, it is believed, as the result of a spider bite. Dr. Morrison is survived by her mother, BeeJee Morrison (Mrs. Perry); and her sister, Abby Morrison; and beloved friends and relatives. She graduated cum laude as a "lifer" from Winchester Thurston School in 1980, earned a B.A. in economics, and an MBA, from the University of Chicago in 1985 and a Ph.D. from Duke University in political science as an Africanist, specializing in ethnic conflict, in 2004. Between business school and earning her doctorate, her interest in empowerment and conflict resolution led her to the Peace Corps for three and a half years in Corozal, Honduras (1986-1989), where she helped the local Garifuna women, African descendants, develop their small business - a cassava bread making factory, and that then led her to the World Bank in Washington, DC for a brief stint. In Durham, while working on her master's and doctorate degrees, she also became a trained mediator, using principles of non-violent communication in her work for the postal service in dispute resolution. When she returned to Kenya to continue her research, she also developed and practiced her interest in alternative medicine and healing techniques. She lived life by her own rules and on her own terms, passionate in her idealism and devotion to people's self-determination. She was a world traveler, across Africa, part of Asia, Europe, Central and South America, and climbed Kilimanjaro, Mt. Fuji, and Machu Picchu. She was an avid opera, classical music, and Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and she played Spanish style classical guitar. Those who knew her will miss her intelligence, idealism, and fondness for puns. Services at RALPH SCHUGAR CHAPEL, INC., 5509 Centre Avenue, Shadyside on Thursday at 11 a.m. Visitation one hour prior to services (10 - 11 a.m.). Interment West View Cemetery of Rodef Shalom Congregation. Donations in Lesa's memory may be sent to the Pittsburgh Opera, the Pittsburgh Symphony, and the Jewish Federation of Greater of Pittsburgh, or a charity of the donor's choice. www.schugar.com Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb
