Mildred Delores Drutarosky
June 14, 1931 – March 31, 2026
On Tuesday, March 31, 2026, Mildred (Puskar) Drutarosky, age 94, of Cranberry Township, PA passed away peacefully at home.
Mildred was born in McKeesport, PA on June 14, 1931, the ninth of eleven children to her loving parents Thomas and Mary Puskar.
Mildred, known to most as Mitzie or Buba, is proceeded in death by all of her siblings and by the love of her life, Michael S. Drutarosky. Mildred and Michael were married in 1955 and enjoyed 30 years of joy and love. Prior to Michael’s death they spent their life together holding hands and pairing their strengths to make a positive impact upon all those whom they met. Mildred is survived by her five children and five grandchildren: Mark David Drutarosky, Michael Daniel Drutarosky, his wife Jo Drutarosky and their daughter Ella Grace, Marcia Diane Fagerberg, her husband Charles Fagerberg and their children Markus Edvard and Rachel Anne, Myles Damian Drutarosky and Mitchell Dean Drutarosky. She is also survived by many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Buba was fiercely proud of all her children and grandchildren, loving nothing more than spending time with them. They helped keep her young in body, mind, and spirit. Its not every grandmother at the age of 80 that would race a 10 year old up a 500 foot granite rock, get into an IFly chamber and float into space, or take a ride on an anti gravity chair at NASA. Mildred was a proud and blessed member of Hope Lutheran Church, Cranberry Twp, PA for over 60 years. She cherished her relationship with many members of the congregation and the Pastors that led the Flock throughout the years. Mildred, along with her husband Michael, helped start a youth group which is still going strong today. She was honored to teach Sunday school classes, assist with communion, or simply cook up a big pot of stuffed cabbages for a church event. In Mildred’s words, “I owe so much to Hope, its Pastors, and its members. My heartfelt thanks. May God bless you all.”
Mildred’s legacy is her passion to help others. If you needed a roof over you head, a bite to eat, tutoring, or simply companionship, Mildred was there. Mildred always found time to listen, offer prayers, and of course always leave you with a warm hug.

I’m Really going to Miss Mitzie she was a Kind and Sweet Beautiful lady
Mitzi lived big and gave from deep in her heart. Her generosity was not just in spirit, but in the tangible as well. With her, what you saw was what you got. And her pitzelles kept coming year ‘round. 😋 May she now rest peacefully in the Everlasting Love of God.
