Santa Mae Migyanko

Santa Mae Migyanko, 89, of Latrobe passed away Friday, March 21, 2025, at Independence Health System-Westmoreland Hospital. She was born January 31, 1936, in Greensburg, to the late Carmen Petro and Nora (Leone) Petro. She was a 1954 graduate of Greensburg High School and a member of St. Vincent Basilica Parish. One thing we know for certain, our mom was always happiest at holidays and birthday parties. When all her family was around her and got together. It was her golden moment! She would tell stories, dance, laugh, sing, cook and bake amazing food. It was like her love language something so simple it gave her so much joy and she shined the brightest. Santa Mae had an unwavering fondness for the spring time and gardening. Being outdoors was a passion of hers and how she connected with nature. If you called and she did not answer, it was probably because she was in the garden. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Andrew Migyanko; two brothers, Angelo and George Petro and one sister, Jennie Myers. Santa Mae is survived by three daughters, Pam May, Kim Cribbs (Bob), and Deanna Elko; a son Andrew Migyanko (Vicci); a sister, Nora Sullenburger (Charlie); a niece Amy; seven grandchildren, Shannon Miller-Kisner (Ben), Megan Joseph (Tim), Brandon Elko (Tara), Zachary May (Sarah), Sammi Carrozza (Corey), Sarah Migyanko (Teddy), and Cameron Andrew (Curtis); eight great grandchildren, Melody “Baby Doll”, Emma “Dovey”, Jameson “JJ”, Ellie “Pumpkin”, Elijah “Big Boy”, Zephyr “Little Dude”, Waylon “Bud”, and Aurora “Queenie”; as well as several nieces and nephews.
