Carol Ann (Domenick) Martella

Carol Ann (Domenick) Martella 78, of Hopewell Township, passed away on April 6th, 2024, surrounded by her loving family, at Good Samaritan Hospice after a hard-fought battle with cancer. Born August 6th, 1945, to the late Dan and Anne Domenick. After graduating from Montour High School in 1964, Carol attended Pittsburgh Beauty Academy. She began her career working at a salon in Coraopolis before leaving to become a mother and homemaker. She continued styling hair for her family and friends out of her home for many years after. Carol was a loving and devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, grandmother, aunt, cousin, and amazing friend to so many. She loved spending time with her family, especially her four grandchildren. Carol was a member of Our Lady of Fatima church and volunteered her time every year to run various booths at the Fatima Festival, most notably the “cotton candy” booth. She actively participated in her children’s sporting activities, fundraisers, school functions and anything else that came her way. Aside from her family, two other passions were her crafts and her love of bowling. She held several bowling board positions (president, vice president and treasurer) through her bowling career and when her health stopped her from playing, she still showed up weekly and remained involved by helping to count money or other areas of need. She bowled in two leagues on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, alongside her mother-in-law Josephine. Carol also loved her crafts. Whether it was for the holidays or something she learned from her craft group or TV, her family and friends always reaped the benefits of her latest creation. In addition to her parents, Carol was preceded in death by her mother and father-in-law, Carmine and Josephine Martella and her sister-in-law Anne Domenick. Carol is survived by her devoted and loving husband, Paul Martella of 53 years, and her two children Danielle (Scott) Joseph of Upton, Massachusetts; Paul (April) Martella Jr. of Hopewell Township; her grandchildren Benjamin and Ayden Joseph, and Domynik and Gabriel Martella; her brother Dan Domenick (Luminada) of Coraopolis; sister in laws, Loretta Martella of Aliquippa, and Angela (Gary) McHenry of Hopewell Township and two nephews Joe (Rebecca) McHenry and Nick McHenry. Family and friends are welcome to attend a Mass of Christian burial, Wednesday, April 10, at 11:30 am in Our Lady of Fatima Church, 2270 Broadhead Road, Aliquippa. Interment will follow at Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Caroll's memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who were touched by her kindness, strength, and unwavering spirit. The family would like to thank the incredible staff at Good Samaritan Hospice for the loving and compassionate care that was extended to Carol.
