Lucille Sylvia Neal Visnesky
Lucille Slyvia Neal Visnesky, 82, was called home to Jesus on Wednesday, October
13th, 2021.
Born to Chester and Genevieve (McMillen) Neal on June 11th, 1939 in Worthington,
PA, she was beloved by everyone who knew her.
She was a 1957 graduate of Worthington-West Franklin High School, Worthington,
PA.
She married the love of her life, John M. Visnesky, on August 23rd, 1957, and
together they shared a beautiful life in their 58 years of marriage.
Lucille had a green thumb and loved spending her summer days in the sunshine
tending to her garden that she and John grew together year after year.
She was affectionately known as “Lucy” to those who loved her. A longtime
member of St. Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe Roman Catholic Church, she enjoyed
singing her worship and was also known to sing around the house.
Her family describes her like a songbird. She was a loyal caretaker to her
cherished dog and companion, Ebony. No one ever went hungry at Lucille’s
house, as she always made enough food for an army, and cooked everything with
heaping amounts of love.
She was a dedicated worker at Fairwinds Nursing Home for eight years, and
Armstrong County Memorial Hospital for twenty years.
Lucille was a faithful believer, treasured and adored mother and grandmother,
and a wonderful woman. Anyone who knew her was blessed, and she will forever be
remembered and characterized by her love.
Lucille is survived by her devoted children, John Visnesky (Holly), of Mt.
Lebanon, Christina Wilson (Scott), of Cuyahoga Falls, OH, Timothy Visnesky
(Carrie) of Kittanning, Kenneth Visnesky (Cheryl), of Rural Valley, Jeffrey
Visnesky, of Marietta, and adopted son John Fitzgerald, of Harrisburg; loving

Nichole, Natalie, Benjamin, Park, and Michelle; three step-grandchildren, Joel,

She was preceded in death by her parents, her dear husband, John, and brother
