Margaret Burchianti, 86, of Masontown, Pa., passed away September 13, 2019 at Uniontown Hospital, Uniontown, Pa.

She was born in Pottstown, Pa. on September 25, 1932, the daughter of the late Joseph and Anna (Patek) Mateychak.

Margaret graduated from Cumberland High School in 1950 and married Robert Burchianti in 1954.  She was a very talented seamstress having completed many sewing projects for very many people in the Masontown area. 

She was a devout Catholic and a woman of deep faith.  Margaret was a member of the Italian American women’s club for many years and was involved in many Church activities as a loyal member of the All Saints/Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Masontown.  She was ultimately a caregiver, selflessly giving of herself to care for her parents, husband and all of her family.

She was predeceased by her parents, husband Robert Burchianti, siblings; John, Frank and Ann.

Margaret is survived by her four children Ralph (Valerie) Burchianti of Greensboro, Pa., Richard (Joyce) Burchianti of Uniontown, Pa., Valerie (Steven) Johnson of Palmyra, Pa., Steven (Triana) Burchianti of Coto de Caza, Calif.; grandchildren, William (Jamie) Burchianti, Jamie (Gustavo) Lopez, Laura (Shane) Ziats, Matthew (Emily) Johnson, Tony Burchianti, Michael Johnson, Bria Burchianti, Cole Burchianti and Caden Burchianti. Great grandchildren, Taylor, Ethan, Alex, Nico, Lucas, Lucy, Aliyana, Dominic and Luke were a source of great joy to her.  She is also survived by three sisters, Mary Bradley, Helen Bohar and Elizabeth Arendash and two sister-in-laws, Aura Lozar and Margaret Burchianti.  Margaret also enjoyed the company of her many nieces and nephews.
