Rose Margaret "Peg" Cione (Swartz), of Hermitage, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, December 16, 2023. She was 88.

Born on August 28, 1935, Peg was the youngest child of Orlo and Kathryn Swartz. She was a graduate of Sharon High School and proudly performed as the head majorette in the marching band.

During her career, Peg worked for Congressman Joseph Vigorito, and later in life, at Tony's Pizza in Sharon for over 20 years. She participated in a neighborhood women's social club and was a member of the ladies' auxiliary at the North Sharon Fire Hall.

Peg enjoyed baking her famous chocolate chip cookies, pound cake, and Texas sheet cake. She loved to share her homemade sweets with family and friends, demonstrating her kindness and generosity. She could always be counted on to lend an ear or sage piece of advice, which often included her quick wit and humorous one-liners. Maybe more than anything, she looked forward to scratching lottery tickets and taking bus trips with friends to the casino, however, family was always her focus throughout her lifetime.

She is survived by her husband, Robert Cione, of Hermitage; two daughters, Debbie Hanahan, of Hermitage, and Karen Mullins and her husband Tom, of Wexford, PA; four sons, Terry Ogden and wife Robin Scammon-Ogden, of Cocoa, FL, Jeff Ogden and his wife Cyndi, Brighton, MI, Bart Ogden and his wife Li, of Wexford, PA, and Brett Cione and husband Jobin Abraham of New York, NY; seven grandchildren; one great-grandchild; a brother, George Swartz of Las Vegas; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

Peg is preceded in death by her parents Orlo and Kathryn Swartz; former husband, Everett "Bart" Ogden; a brother, Harry "Hap" Swartz; and a sister, Norma "Jean" Volansky.
