Andrew J. Bonazza
Andrew J. Bonazza, 90, of Washington, Chartiers Township, passed away peacefully Tuesday, June 21, 2022, in his home, with his family by his side. He was born June 4, 1932, in Washington, a son of the late Louis and Mary Korpus Bonazza.
Mr. Bonazza lived his life in the Washington area and was a member of St. Oscar Romero Parish Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church in Meadowlands.

Andy was a charter member of both the Fraternal Order of Bears Club and the Meadowlands Sportsman’s Club.
He enjoyed camping, woodworking and going to the beach, especially Ocean City with his family. Andy loved cookies and liked sharing them with his pet Yorkie, Katie and giving candy to all the kids in the neighborhood.
On November 10, 1956, he married Irene Dorence, who survives after 65 years.
Also left behind to cherish his memory are his beloved children, Larry Bonazza of Meadowlands, Susan Schipps of Washington, and Kenneth Bonazza and wife Carrie of Canonsburg; three grandchildren, Zachary and Jason Bonazza, and Annie Ley; his sister, Roseanne Hall of Canonsburg; sisters-in-law, Giselle Bonazza of Washington and Mary Ann Lucy of Bedford Heights, Ohio; and several nieces and nephews.
