Eva M. Peduto

Peacefully, on Wednesday, February 5, 2020. Wife of the late Guy A. Peduto; loving mother of Guy A. Peduto III (Donna) of Fairmont, W.Va., the Hon. William M. Peduto of Pittsburgh, and the late Lt. Col. David B. Peduto (Michelle, surviving) of Sewickley, and the late Thomas S. Peduto; sister of the late Marino and Camillo Zarroli; grandmother of Elizabeth Kantoris (Craig), Emily, Sam, and Joe. Eva was a member of the Ladies' Green Tree Garden Club, member of S.S. Simon & Jude Church, and a member of the Christian Mother's.
She was the daughter of Serafino & Angela Zarroli. She was the first person from her family to be born in America (Carnegie, PA) . Eva used that spirit as a young woman and became the first person in her family to graduate from High School (Carnegie High School). She continued her education at Pittsburgh's Business Training College and was employed in Pittsburgh's changing economy. She traded her professional career for her home. As a homemaker, she made her career raising four young men. Although Eva grew up in a home with two brothers and cultivated a home with six men - husband, four sons & father - she became the matriarch of an entire family. Her love of her family, nieces, nephews, in-laws, grandchildren created a world where family became her strongest bond. Eva Peduto's kitchen, where everything was made from scratch, was the center of the American Dream. She served as disciplinarian (wooden spoon in hand), Chef, Doctor, Accountant and religious leader to all her family. The daughter of immigrants, she connected her children & grand children to the challenges of today's world while grounding them in the culture, tradition and values of the old world. The family would like to give special thanks to Eva's friends, and especially her caretakers, whose support and love allowed her to enjoy remaining in her home in comfort and at peace.
