Cynthia “Cindy” Marie (Machesney) Oliver

CYNTHIA “CINDY” MARIE (MACHESNEY) OLIVER, 68, of Weirton, WV, was called to her eternal Heavenly home on July 18, 2024 surrounded by her family at her residence. Or, as Cindy would say, she “kicked the bucket”. Born on August 23, 1955, in Steubenville, OH, Cindy was the daughter of John J. and Goldie Hall Machesney. A graduate of Wintersville High School, Cindy married the love of her life, Charles Oliver, on August 27, 1973. Married for 40 years, Chuck and Cindy were a testament of love and faithfulness to family, friends, and community through their involvement in Marriage Encounter, Camp Fire Inc., PTA, Steel Valley Bowling League, “Hosanna the Rock Opera”, Weirton Community Players, and St. Paul’s Church Choir and Youth Group. Cindy was a woman of strong Catholic faith, a devoted member of her church, and an active participant in numerous faith-based activities. She was an enthusiastic member of St. Paul’s Choir, the Weirton Catholic Pro-Life Group, and also brought the eucharist to local shut-ins. A selfless servant of God, she volunteered her time and energy at the Table of Hope and AIM Women’s Center, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. She had a zest for life and her adventurous spirit was evident in her love for skydiving, hot air ballooning, parasailing, zip lining, and traveling with family and friends. She loved sharing a bottle of wine around a campfire, watching a sunrise or sunset at the beach at Presque Isle, or just sitting on her back porch. Cindy will be fondly remembered by her “Cindyisms”, her love for frogs (Fully Rely On God), and being the “best Bubba ever” to Caleb and Philomena. In addition to her parents, Cindy was preceded in death by her husband, Charles “Chuck” Oliver, brothers Danny, John, Richard, and Walter Machesney, nephew Mark Oliver, and infant granddaughter Anna Danielle Shultz. Left to cherish her memory are her daughters Carrie (Eddie) Shultz of Joffre, PA., and Casey (Ollie) Stone of Steubenville, OH, her precious grandchildren Caleb Louis Charles Shultz and Philomena Marie Stone, her sister-in-law Cecilia Wounaris, relatives, friends, and her Fairview Street neighbors. Friends and family wee received on Sunday, July 21, 2024 at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home, Weirton. Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on Monday, July 22, 2024 at St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church, Weirton, with Fr. Anthony G. Thurston and Fr. Larry Dorsch co-officiating. Cindy was buried next to her husband in St. Paul’s Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Cindy’s name to St. Paul’s Catholic School, 140 Walnut Street, Weirton, WV., 26062.
