Carolyn Romano Hewko passed away unexpectedly on August 2, 2025, at her home. Born on May 1, 1940, in Beaver Falls, Pa., she was the daughter of the late John R. and Elvira Sebastian Romano.
A graduate of Beaver Falls HS and Geneva College, Mrs. Hewko was a dedicated teacher at Beaver Area High School for over 35 years. Beloved by students and faculty alike, her loss will be deeply felt by those she touched during her long career.
Carolyn was an excellent cook. Her red clam sauce was beyond compare and always a favorite at the Christmas Eve dinner table. She enjoyed teaching, traveling, dancing, and watching Jeopardy and CSI. An 80s disco queen, stunning beauty, outspoken to a fault, she was indeed a special lady. Her presence will be missed by many.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, John T. Romano, sister-in-law, Laura Goerhing Romano, dear son-in-law, Paul D. Susich, and nephews William J. Romano and John Romano Jr. She leaves behind a daughter, Lynn M. (Dave) Caffro, a son, Johnny Hewko, a granddaughter, Megan (Steven) Hewko-Ward, a grandson, William Hewko, three great-grandchildren, and a loving niece, Crystal Romano Presto.
Friends will be received on Monday, August 11, 2025 from 3pm – 7pm in the Noll Funeral Home Inc., 333 Third Street, Beaver, PA 15009. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 at 10am at Our Lady of the Valley Parish, Saints Peter and Paul Church, Beaver, 200 Thirds Street, Beaver, PA 15009.
