Jean Madeline (DiMarco) DeChellis

Jean Madeline (DiMarco) DeChellis, 98, formerly of West Aliquippa and Monaca, passed away peacefully on January 10, 2026, with her beloved family by her side. Born on August 12, 1927, to the late John and Mary (Mancini) DiMarco, Jean built a life rich in love, laughter, and cherished memories. In addition to her parents, Jean was preceded in death by her devoted husband of 62 years, Guido DeChellis, her dear sisters Pearl DiMarco and Theresa Marchionda, and her son-in-law, William Fox. Jean found joy in life's simple pleasures. She had a fondness for puzzles, delighting in the challenges that kept her mind sharp and engaged. She enjoyed technology and the use of her computer where she spent hours playing games, always eager to try something new and connect with friends and family online. Music filled her home and heart—she was drawn to the timeless melodies of classical compositions and the nostalgia of old Hollywood movies, often reminiscing about her favorite scenes and stars. Bingo nights were a highlight for Jean, whether at community gatherings or with loved ones, her excitement contagious as she waited for her lucky numbers to be called. Jean is survived by her loving children: Laureen Fox, Joe (Anna) DeChellis, Mark (Sonia) DeChellis, and Kevin DeChellis. Her legacy continues through her cherished grandchildren: Jason, Ryan (Nicole), Tyler, Kara (Steve), Lauren, Dante, Allison (Aaron), Joey, Lindsey, and Evan (Kelly); and her great-grandchildren: Cameron, Carter, Cole, Luca, Leah, Payton, Joseph, and Phoenix. Jean is also survived by her uncle, Carmen (Sara) Mancini, and many loving nieces and nephews who will miss her warmth and wisdom. Jean’s family invites all who knew her to remember her for her kindness, her spirited love of games and music, and the joy she brought into every room. Her lively spirit and tender heart will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. The family wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff of Jefferson Hills Rehabilitation for the compassionate care and support they provided to Jean. They also wish to honor and thank her kind and caring roommate, Nancy, for being there and offering unwavering friendship and comfort throughout Jean’s stay. At Jean’s request there will not be any public visitation. Family and friends are welcome to attend a Mass of Christian Burial, Friday, January 16, 2026, at 12:00 noon in St. John the Baptist Church 1409 Pennsylvania Ave., Monaca PA 15061. Entombment will follow at Sylvania Hills Cemetery. Arrangements are with ANTHONY MASTROFRANCESCO FUNERAL HOME INC. 2026 McMinn Street Aliquippa PA 15001. 724-375-0496.
