Lily A. Blashak, 88, of Union Township passed away the evening of March 27, 2020, at her residence. Born in New Castle on March 29, 1931, Lily was a daughter of the late George Alex and Helen Cwynar Alex Fleeger. Preceding her in death on Dec 3, 1990, was her husband of more than 38 years, Harry "Kit" Blashak, whom she married on Jan. 27, 1951.
Lily was a member of the Holy Spirit Parish. In her earlier years, Lily had worked for Treasure Island. She later worked at Fisher Big Wheel in the corporate office, until eventually retiring from New Castle Fruit and Produce. She enjoyed visiting casinos. Lily enjoyed sitting on her porch during the summertime and she cherished the times she spent with her family.
She is survived by her two children, Greg Blashak and Debi Borrelli, both of New Castle; her grandchildren, Travis Borrelli and fiancee, Brandy Rush and Brandy's son, Anthony, and Amber Blashak; and her great-grandchild, KJ Borrelli.
In addition to her parents and husband, Lilly is preceded in death by her son, Jeff Blashak.
Due to the current health crisis in our communities, the family will hold a private service at the Ed and Don DeCarbo Funeral Home & Crematory 941 S. Mill St conducted by Rev. Richard Nero. Burial will take place at Madonna Cemetery.
Lord God, you are attentive to the voice of our pleading. Give Lily eternal rest, O Lord, and may your light shine on her forever.
Let us find in your Son comfort in our sadness, certainty in our
doubt, and courage to live through this hour. Make our faith
strong through Christ our Lord. Amen.
