There were 13 children in the Fazio family:

 

John Fazio; Renzy Fazio, married to Frances Olesky Fazio, sister of my father, John W. Olesky, Sr. and who ran a grocery store on Jackson Street; Jeanette Fazio DiBiase, who died in 2003; Albert Fazio of New York; Mary Virginia Fazio Pasquale and husband Joseph of Fairmont; the late Nick, James, Joseph and Michael; Edith Fazio DeCarlo, Elizabeth Fazio Domico, Angeline Fazio Prozzillo and Carmella Fazio DePond. 

Dolores was a Fairview High graduate.

I remember John Fazio, Dolores’ husband, best as a lanky, effective pitcher for Monongah High. But Renzy Fazio was the #1 golfer in the family. Only Homer Delovich was better among Monongah High graduates on a golf course.
