Obituary - Hope V. Sacco

Hope V. Sacco, of Springdale Township, flew into the arms of Jesus, at the age of 23, on Friday, September 27, 2013, with her family by her side.

Hope was the beloved daughter of Susan (Alberts) Sacco and the late Patrick R. Sacco; dear sister of Vincent (Christina) Sacco, of Springdale, Daniel M. Sacco, at home, Amy S. Sacco, of New Kensington (and Amy’s former husband, David Fortuna, who remained fond of Hope) and the late Joshua S. Sacco; niece of Linda (Larry) Hackett, of Philadelphia; aunt of Patrick, Becca, Aleeya, Kramer, Casey and Emily; and dear friend of her nurses and caregivers from care ministries.

Hope had multiple disabilities during her lifetime and lived courageously through it all, with a zest and love of life.  She graduated from the Pittsburgh School for the Blind in 2011, and was crowned prom queen at the school.  Afterwards, she continued with the LAVI program of Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children.

Friends and relatives will be received to remember her life from 2 to 8 p.m. Monday at the BURKET-TRUBY FUNERAL HOME CREMATION & ALTERNATIVE SERVICES INC., 421 Allegheny Avenue, Oakmont, where services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday with her brother, Vincent, officiating.  Interment will follow in Plum Creek Cemetery.

The Family suggests memorials to Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children, 201 N. Bellefield Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15213.
