Kathleen Sivulich

Kathleen “Kathy” Sivulich, 70, of Hermitage, passed away on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, in UPMC Jameson Hospital, New Castle.

Mrs. Sivulich was born on May 14, 1955, in Sharon, a daughter of the late James and Marie (Hudzinski) Scanga. A lifelong area resident, she was a 1973 graduate of Farrell High School.

The day following high school, she began working as a teller at First National Bank, where she remained for 15 years. She eventually retired from Dr. Gregory George’s office in Sharon, where she was the office manager for 28 years.

A devout Catholic, Kathy was a member of St. Joseph’s Church, Sharon.

She will be remembered for her kindness, compassion and caring personality. She looked forward to getting together with the “Girls” at the YMCA and her classmates' monthly luncheon. She also enjoyed traveling, visiting wineries in California, playing slot machines at the casino, and doing word searches. Above all, she cherished time visiting her son and her two dogs, Chance and George.

She is survived by her husband, James ‘Jim” Sivulich, whom she married on August 30, 1986; her son, R.J. Sivulich and his partner, Dustin, of White Plains, NY; two brothers, James “Jimmy” Scanga and his wife, Kim, of Sharpsville, and Timothy Scanga, of Farrell; and three nephews.

In addition to her parents, Kathy was preceded in death by a brother, John Scanga.

The family suggests memorial contributions be directed to Roswell Park Cancer Institute, at www.roswellpark.org

In keeping with Kathy’s wishes, all services were held privately. 

Interment: St. Anthony’s Cemetery, Hermitage.
