Louise (Mignogna) Hryb, 91, formerly of Altoona, passed away to the Lord on Jan. 11, 2021, in California. She was born in Altoona, daughter of Dominic and Marie Mignogna.
She had been previously married to John Franchio, and John Hryb, both deceased.
She attended Altoona High School. After graduating, she married and had two daughters. Louise was a loving daughter, wife, devoted mother and grandmother.
She is survived by two daughters, Linda Scafuro and husband, Carl, of Westlake, Ohio, and Debi Franchio of Cathedral City, Calif.; and two grandchildren, Christopher and Nicolas Scafuro of Westlake, Ohio.
She is preceded in death by two brothers, Jimmy and Anthony.
Louise was a working mom most of her life. She worked at Grants Department Store in Altoona, and was an industrial worker in Cleveland, Ohio.
Louise enjoyed Italian cooking, sweets, reading, card games, walks, going to movies and travel, especially when she went to see all of Italy. Most of all Louise enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She was extraordinary woman and our family's treasure.
She was a member of St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Cleveland.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, when it is once again safe to gather. She will go to her final resting place in Holy Cross in Calvary Cemetery.
