Michelle Sara Festa, beloved wife and best friend of Daryl Festa, wonderful mother of Ariel, Avery, Samson, and Trinity and grandmother to Eleanor was called home to be with the Lord on September 28, 2025. She grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania as the youngest of three siblings, Carole, Laurence, and Mark to parents Carl and Margaret Olson. She was a mechanical engineer with a degree from Penn State University where she met the love of her life, her husband Daryl. Michelle was a faithful woman of God and a true disciple maker. The most important thing to her was her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. She loved her family, especially her two bulldogs Luna and Newman, her dear friends, and almost any animal including her three cats, her fish, and every animal she could get to her birdfeeder. She will be dearly missed by everyone who was blessed to know her. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 18, 2025 at Christ Church at Grove Farm, 249 Duff Rd. Sewickley, PA 15143 at 1:00 PM. Charity donations in her name can go to Urban Impact Foundation, 2901 N. Charles St. Pittsburgh, PA 15214.
