Veronica M. Briscar Valentovich age 93, of Poplar Lane Court Uniontown, Pa passed away peacefully at Bella Health Care on September 3, 2022. She was the daughter of the late John and Anna Briscar of Lemont Furnace, Pa.
 

Veronica was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Joseph R. Valentovich in 1982, her sons, David M. Valentovich in 2019 and Joseph M. Valentovich in 2021.
 

Veronica was the last living member of the immediate Briscar Family. She is preceded in death by her sisters, Mary Briscar Ellsworth, Sally Briscar Sampson, Helen Briscar Chuska, Dolores Briscar Gallagher and brothers, Joseph Briscar and Vincent Briscar.
 

Also preceding her in death were her sisters-in-law Betty Valentovich Briscar and Patricia Valentovich Elliott.
 

Veronica is survived by her daughter, Renee Pramuk (Daniel) and sons, Chris R. Valentovich of Uniontown and James E. Valentovich Sr. (Carole) of Greensburg and daughter-in-law, Marschia Wood Valentovich (David) of Delaware. Also left to cherish her memory are her grandchildren, Benjamin J.

Valentovich Jr. (Allyson), Kristin Valentovich Hargnett (Kevin) and great-grandchildren, Alexis, Melanie, Kinley and Kian Mowbray, Brianna and Noah Valentovich, Aiden and Archer Hargnett. Veronica was the loving aunt and great aunt to several nieces and nephews in the Briscar and Valentovich families. Veronica will fondly be remembered by her life time friend, Lois Hewitt, close friends, Jill Pegg and Lucy Craig, Andrea Shimko and her caregiver, Erica.
 

Veronica was a member of St. John the Evangelist R.C Church, where she was a former lector, and a member as well as past president of the Christian Mothers. She was also past president of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Knights of Columbus #1275 before the Ladies Auxiliary was dissolved.
 

Veronica taught sewing lessons at the Singer Sewing Company on Main Street and later at Laurel Mall before working at the Red and White Supermarket on Connellsville Street. You could always find her with a smile on her face in the store bakery. Her customers knew her as Ronnie. She took that smile with her to Judy and Jean’s bakery and then to JC Penney’s where she worked there for a number of years. Veronica finally retired from Fayette County Community Action Agency (the WIC office) as a receptionist. She enjoyed sewing, designing floral arrangements, watching television, and saying the rosary each night with her niece, Diane Chuska Mahallick and watching her family pictures on her digital picture frame.
 

Veronica loved spending time with her family and she was quite proud of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and felt blessed because she lived to be a part of their lives, watching them grow up.
