Sylvan Heritage Council Military Banner Update
Sylvan Heritage Council
We have started on our annual spring “Replace or Retire” program for Emporium’s military banners. We’ve identified just a few that are badly faded and should be replaced (or retired) and just a few more that we feel could use a refresh (but maybe could go another year).
Emails will be going out to those already identified.
However, sponsors can choose to refresh at any time.
Additionally, if you don’t live in town, we are happy to send you a photo of your banner and our assessment of its condition. We replace at cost, which is $140 this year.
Please feel free to comment or reach out to us on Messenger. Or you may contact me directly at 814.594.3260.
Thank you once again to all our sponsors for making our military banner program so successful (and the best around, if we do say so!)

Eileen L. Mecca
Eileen L. Mecca, 69, of Grove Street, Johnsonburg, passed away with her family by her side on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at Penn Highlands Dubois following a very short illness.
She was born on January 14, 1957 in St. Marys, a daughter of the late Raymond and Dolores Davis Cook.
Eileen was a 1975 graduate of Cameron County High School and worked at numerous powdered metal companies over the years. Eileen was a woman who found her greatest peace beneath open skies-whether tending to her garden, camping under the stars, or simply soaking in the beauty of the outdoors she loved so dearly. Her heart belonged to her family and to the many animals she adored, each one a reflection of her deep compassion. Outspoken and spirited, she never hesitated to speak her mind, yet she carried a remarkable ability to see the good in everyone she met. Her quick wit and love of joking brought laughter to those around her, and she will be fondly remembered as "Boo-Boo Grandma," a title she wore with pride and joy. She also cherished the memories of her time traveling with the carnival, a chapter of her life that spoke to her adventurous soul and love for the road. Her presence was vibrant, her love unwavering, and her memory will live on in the stories, laughter, and warmth she leaves behind.
She is survived by three children; Teresa (Jared) Elmquist of Wilcox, Carisa (Troy) Burke of Weedville, and Raymond (Lenaya) Kunes; of Brockport, and by her eight beloved grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her longtime companion, Terry Gabor of Johnsonburg, and by five siblings; Michael (Kathy) Cook of Somerset, Patty Bankovich of St. Marys, Victoria (Bill) Nussbaum of St. Marys, Anna Maria Farrell of Johnsonburg, and Laura Cook of St. Marys, as well as by numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Eileen was preceded in death by her daughter; Shannon Mecca in 2012.
Family and friends are warmly invited to gather together to share stories, laughter, and memories on Monday, May 4, 2026, at the Lynch-Green Funeral Home from 4:00 until 6:00 PM with dinner following in Lynch-Green's Friendship Hall.
Memorial Contributions may be made to the Elk County Humane Society.
Mary Lou Andrus
Mary Lou Andrus, 96, passed away at Guy and Mary Felt Manor in Emporium on April 30, 2026.
She was born in St. Marys, PA on September 19, 1929, the daughter of William and Marcella Bille Dippold. She was one of thirteen children.
On August 13, 1955, she married Lawrence Andrus, who passed away in 1999.
She is survived by four children: Jeff (Kim) Andrus, Wanda (Todd) Smith, Scott (Cathy) Andrus, and Kevin (Lori Zimmer) Andrus, all of Emporium, PA; eight grandchildren, several great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews; and two sisters, Carol Carr and Molly Glatt, both of St. Marys, PA.
In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by ten of her siblings.
As a young woman, she helped with her younger siblings and nieces. She also worked at Stackpole Carbon until she and Larry moved to Truman to raise their family. Mary Lou raised her kids in St. Mark Catholic Church where she sang in the choir. She remained a member of St. Mark until her passing. After raising their four children, she went to work as a housekeeper for the St. Mark Church rectory. She will always be remembered as a devoted wife and loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
The family would like to express our eternal gratitude to the Felt Manor staff who lovingly cared for “ChaCha” in her last years.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held in the Sacred Heart Church, 337 Center Street, St. Marys, PA 15857 on Tuesday, May 5, 2026 at 10:00AM, with Rev. Thomas Curry, O.S.B., celebrating. Burial will be in Moore Hill Cemetery.
Visitation will be held in the Lynch-Radkowski Funeral Home, 169 Center Street, St. Marys, PA 15857 on Tuesday, May 5, 2026 from 8:30AM until 9:30AM.
Memorial donations, if desired, may be made to the Guy and Mary Felt Manor, 110 E. 4th Street, Emporium, PA 15834 or to American Diabetes Association, PO Box 7023, Merrifield, VA 22116-7023.
