Anthony R. Blobner, Jr., passed away unexpectedly at home on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

A son of the late Anthony R. Blobner Sr. and Irene Leek Schuster, Tony's father died when he was 3 months old, and he was raised by his mother and stepfather, the late Oscar Schuster as well as his paternal grandparents, Louis and Caroline Blobner. The family lived in Conway for 12 years before moving to Monaca. Tony was a proud 1960 graduate of Monaca High School, where he played football and golf and made many lifelong friends.

After school, Tony served four years in the U.S. Air Force from 1960-1964. He then worked as a supervisor at Westinghouse Electric in Beaver and retired from the Physical Plant at Penn State Beaver.

He was a member of SS. Peter & Paul Church, Our Lady of the Valley Parish, and the Knights of Columbus.

In addition to his parents and stepfather, he was preceded in death by his grandparents, Louis and Caroline Blobner; his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Ann and Bud Rea.

He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Norma Feller Blobner; daughter, Caroline (Daren) Salls of Ellwood City; son, Anthony T.J. Blobner of State College; special nephews and nieces Mike, Dan, Joyce, Sue and their families; and many cousins and friends.

Tony was a wonderful husband, father, uncle, and friend to all who knew him.

Friends will be received on Monday, September 15th, at Simpson Funeral & Cremation Services, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with a service to follow.

If desired memorial contributions can be made to Beaver County Humane Society in Anthony's Memory to 3394 Brodhead Rd, Aliquippa, PA 15001.
