Lillie J. Tornatore, 83, of 1007 Windfall Road, St. Marys, passed away peacefully, Wednesday, November 2, 2022, at her home, in her comfy chair, following a lengthy illness.

She was born January 3, 1939, in Curwensville, daughter of the late Arthur and Violet Craddock Winters, Sr.  She was a lifelong resident of the area, attended Curwensville schools, and enjoyed her time as caretaker of The Pines for many years.

She is survived by six daughters: Susan Strandberg of Treasure Lake, Josie Hill (Gary) of Pasadena, MD, Sheryl Smith of St. Marys, Katie Tornatore of St. Marys, Lorie “Chip” Hayes (Chris) of Kersey, and Lisa Merat (Bob) of St. Marys; two sons: Robert Tornatore, Jr. of St. Marys and Tom Tornatore of Lakeside, CA; her 16 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren; and by several nieces and nephews.

Along with her parents, Lillie was preceded in death by a grandson, Jesse Denio in 2013; her siblings: Arthur Winters, Jr., Twila Briskar, Joy Rickard, and Donny Winters in infancy.  She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.

Lillie was an avid reader and enjoyed watching her Pittsburgh Steelers and Nittany Lions.  The house came to a stand-still on Steeler Sunday and those closest to Lillie knew not to call the house when the game was on.  She enjoyed her work, took pride in her community, and cherished each day with her family and friends.  She will be missed.

Family and friends are invited to attend a funeral service at the Lynch-Radkowski Funeral Home on Saturday, November 5, 2022 at 10:30 AM the Rev. Scott Wiest, officiating.
