In addition to her parents, Betty was preceded in death by her husband, Paul F. Hojdila, on February 13, 2007; two brothers, Joseph and Walter Swiatek and five sisters, Bernice Tatko, Josephine Pinksaw, Agnes Olshanski, Laura Lintner and Louise Pletz.
Friends will be received Sunday from 1 to 3 and 5 to 7 p.m. in the Simpson Funeral & Cremation Services, 1119 Washington Ave., Monaca, where prayers will be offered Monday at 9:30 a.m. followed by a mass of Christian burial at 10 a.m. at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Monaca.
