Obituary for Lucille D. Matyasich
Lucille M. (Donato) Matyasich, 92, Reading, passed away March 19, 2018, at Elmcroft Senior Living of Reading.
Born in Reading, she was the daughter of the late Anthony and Anna (Barratucci) Donato.
She was a 1942 graduate of Reading High School.
Lucille began her work as a bookkeeper for various local companies. Her longtime banking career began with Wyomissing Federal Savings and Loan Association as a secretary. Over her career, she rose to manage branch offices in both Berks and Lancaster Counties. She always enjoyed helping many local families acquire their first mortgage. She ended her banking career as a Vice President in the Lending Center for Sovereign Bank.
Lucille enjoyed helping others. She was a member of Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church, West Lawn. Over the years, she spent many hours volunteering at Glad Tidings where she was very active in the children’s Sunday School programs as well as the Vacation Bible School. When not helping with the children, she would be volunteering in the canteen at Keystone Blood Bank. In her free time, she could be spotted “puttering” in her yard and playing with her dog.
She is survived by daughter, Jill E., wife of Donald R. Sternat, Birdsboro; son, John D., husband of Geralyn Matyasich, Sinking Spring; five grandchildren: Allison Sternat, Wyomissing; Kaitlyn Sternat, Wilmington, DE; Tyler Sternat, Manchester, CT; Ashley Matyasich, Philadelphia; and Johnathan Matyasich, Sinking Spring, and three brothers: Charles and Franklin Donato, both of Reading, and Joseph Donato, CA, and one sister, Maryann Sacher, Reading.
She was predecased by sisters, Mary and Dorothy and brothers Ralph, Patrick, Carl and Anthony.
