Carolyn " Pat " (DeMeo) DeAscentis

 Carolyn “Pat” DeAscentis,83, died peacefully surrounded by her family at St. Elizabeth Medical Center early Tuesday morning, November 20, 2019. Pat was born on January 18, 1936, to Chester and Ann (Tachafka) DeMeo in Sewickley, PA.

Pat was a graduate of Newton Falls HS and attended YSU. She met Vincent DeAscentis at Pointview Dance Hall, and they wed on April 7, 1956. They lived in San Jose, CA, until 1971 when they moved to Youngstown to be close to family.

Pat was the very first employee hired at the Dairy Queen in Newton Falls Ohio and she then worked at Rockwell International after highschool until her marriage. She was employed by UFCW Local 880 for 13 years as an office manager and was a Mary Kay, Inc. Sales Director. She attended Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, where she had often helped with spaghetti dinners. After her granddaughter Hannah’s difficult birth, she became a founding member of “Quilts from the Heart” making over 1,000 comfort blankets a year for children with terminal illness or trauma. She also volunteered with March of Dimes and was an active member and past president of the Applewood Acres Garden Club. Pat was a Girl Scout leader and an avid quilter doing numerous projects for friends, family, and especially children and grandchildren.

“Mom,” “Grandma Pat,” or “Mimi” as she was lovingly known by her children and grandchildren will always be remembered for her ability to

make people feel special, remembering every special event and showing interest in all of their achievements. She maintained a beautiful home and was a devoted mother and wife. Her home was warm and often smelled of homemade sauce with meatballs.
