Diane M. Pulgini, age 65, of West Newton, unexpectedly went to be with the Lord on March 27, 2024, at Penn Highlands Mon Valley Hospital. Born Oct. 17, 1958, in McKeesport, she was the daughter of the late George and Julia Kensky of Elizabeth. She is survived by her life partner of 38 years, David Teman; her daughters, Priscilla (Ken) Trail of Rostraver Township, Kayla (Chuck) Augustine of West Newton and Renee (William) Pavlic of Liberty Borough; and son, Richard (Bridget) Teman of Sarver. Along with her children, she is survived by four grandchildren, Kaityln Trail, Savannah Teman, Maria Teman and Connor Pavlic. She was the bar manager at Hott Rodz in Glassport for the last 12 years and is also survived by her many friends who were family from Hott Rodz and the Glassport community — they called her “Mama Di.” In the summer months, she enjoyed her camp at Miller’s Campground in New Alexandria with family and her beloved (four-legged daughter) teacup chihuahua, Bailee. Friends will be received at PAUL E. BEKAVAC FUNERAL HOME, 221 North Second Ave., Elizabeth, from 3 p.m. until the time of service at 5:30 p.m. Monday, April 1, 2024, in the funeral home chapel with the Rev. Jude Urso officiating.
