Uniontown

Mrs. Ann E. Tretinik, 79, of Uniontown, passed away peacefully Monday, February 23, 2026, in her home, with family by her side.

She was born in Uniontown November 6, 1946 to the late Thomas Ray and Eileen “Toots” McIntyre.

In 1971, Ann married Mr. Paul Michael Tretinik. They were together for 44 years until his passing in 2015.

After years as a stay-at-home mom, Ann became a secretary at St. John Evangelist grade school. Later she served as a secretary for Dr. James V. Weimer in Masontown.

Those who knew Ann could find her getting her hair done on Thursdays, then pressing her Irish luck at Friday night Bingo. Until recently Ann never missed the chance to light a candle before Saturday Night Mass then off to Eat N Park for dinner.

“Grannie Annie” will be greatly missed by the granddaughters she adored, always cheering them on for accomplishments big or small.
