Florence (Kelmeckis) Matta, 89, of White Oak, formerly of Duquesne, passed peacefully on June 24, 2024. The most important thing to Florence was spending time loving her family, and she now leaves her family on earth to be welcomed in heaven by her late husband George Matta, daughter Jodie Dillinger, son George Matta II, daughter-in-law, Rona (Stein) Matta, and granddaughter, Devin Matta.

Florence is survived by her son, Gary Matta and wife Larissa Rathway Matta, son-in-law George Dillinger and wife Cindy (Pazehoski) Dillinger, daughter-in-law, Cathy Matta, and 11 grandchildren; Bradley and Gretchen Matta, Logan and Keith Haselhoff, Brittany and Darin Kowalski, Tyler and Liz Dillinger, Langley and Tyler Shope, and Austin Matta, and 11 great-grandchildren; Nolan, Kash, Hagen, Miles, Bannon, Oakleigh, Kinley, Tyson, Warren, Greta and Tatum. Florence is also survived by her brother Edward Kelmeckis and wife, Geraldine, along with nieces and nephews and beloved friends.

In between family vacations, attending grandchildren’s sporting and school events, and great grandchildren’s baptisms, birthdays, and parties, Florence was a member of the Duquesne Women’s Club, Pennsylvania State Democratic Committee, Democratic Committee of White Oak, and Secretary of Branch 38 of the First Catholic Slovak Union, and treasured the personal friendships made through the First Catholic Slovak Union.
