Anthony Sbraccia, age 97, passed away peacefully at home, with his family by his side, on Wednesday, December 17, 2025.

He was born in Pittsburgh, PA, son of the late Antonio and Mary (Cardone); and served honorably in the US Navy.

In addition to his parents, Anthony was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 63 years, Margaretta (Serdula) Sbraccia in 2014; and his 10 siblings: Carl, Adeline, Theresa, Vera, Ernest, Elmer, MaryLouise, Paul, Margie, and Tommy.
