Dana L. Marchines

It is with great sorrow that we announce Dana L. (Dilegge) Marchines, born November 25, 1976 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Doreen K. (Canestrale) and Alan L. Dilegge who survive and reside in Pricedale, went home to the Lord unexpectedly on September 7, 2024.

Dana was a fiercely proud and loving mother to Nina Marchines, beloved sister to Alan M. (Theresa) Dilegge and Dean (Jacqueline) Dilegge, and adoring aunt to Deandra (Josh) Godzin, A.J. Dilegge and Luca Dilegge, also survived by John Marchines.

A lifelong resident of Rostraver and the surrounding area, she graduated from Belle Vernon Area High School and was a member of St. Sebastian R.C. Church. Dana was a fun and spirited girl who grew up loving dance and cheer. Her passion was shared by her daughter Nina as she became involved in BVA and All-Star cheer, creating many amazing and cherished memories together. Nina was truly her greatest joy. Dana was a force with her contagious smile and glowing personality. She maintained both lifelong friendships and acquired new friends everywhere she went. Family was incredibly important to Dana. Her position as office manager at Matt Canestrale Contracting allowed her to hold her family near for many years, something that she always treasured. 

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Albert and Virginia Dilegge, aunt, Carol Doman, aunt and uncle, Matty and Mary Lou Canestrale and grandparents, Matt and Lorraine Canestrale.
