Dolores Vernet Kernisky, 90, of Monessen, passed away on July 10, 2020, in UPMC Mercy Hospital of Pittsburgh. She was born in Monessen, daughter of the late Harry and Mary Cenkner Vernet. Dolores was a member of St. Mary’s Byzantine Catholic Church of Monessen and the church’s Ladies Guild. Dolores was a person of great faith, evidenced by the life that she led. Only three things were of true value to her, faith, family and friends. Her gentle spirit radiated love and kindness to all, and her quiet strength was a testament to her faith. She had supported many charities, with Mount Saint Macrina holding special importance. Surviving are a daughter, Mary Kay Kelly; sons, Fred and wife Mary Jane Kernisky, and Ed and wife Rita Kernisky; grandchildren, Fred, Maria and husband Tim Campbell and Eddie; great-grandchildren, Nina and Nolan; as well as beloved nieces and nephews.
