Obituary

Martha D. “Marty” Anderson, 73, of Patterson Township, passed away surrounded by family on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, at Heritage Valley Health System – Beaver Campus.

Born on July 4, 1952, in Butler, she was the daughter of the late Basil and Johanna (Pasher) Dmytryk.

Following her high school graduation, Marty continued her education over years of hard work, achieving a bachelor’s degree in human resources and a master’s degree in counseling psychology while working full-time and raising her family. She worked as a drug and alcohol counselor for many years before retiring in 2017.  She was a devout Catholic and was a member of St. Monica Church of St. Augustine Parish.  Her grandchildren were very precious to her, and she was extremely proud of her family.  Listening to “oldies” music in the pool with her husband was a favorite pastime.

In addition to her parents, Marty was preceded in death by her brother, Joseph Dmytryk.

In accordance with her wishes, there will be no visitation and cremation will be honored.

Friends and family are invited to attend a memorial Mass of Christian Burial on Wednesday, July 30^th at 10AM at St. Monica Church of St. Augustine Parish, 116 Thorndale Dr., Beaver Falls, with Fr. Kim Schreck as celebrant.
