David H. Memo, age 95, of Neshannock Township, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on December 13, 2024, at Jameson Place in Neshannock Township.
Born July 31, 1929, in New Castle, he was the son of the late Nick and Filipina (Sforza) Memo. He married the love of his life, Frances Stephanie Majeski, on August 8, 1953, who preceded him in death in 1989.

He was an active member of St. James Church in New Bedford for many years and currently of Holy Spirit Parish, St. Vitus Church.
David's life was always centered around the love and devotion he had for his family. He enjoyed attending their sporting events, academic pursuits, and especially family gatherings. He was an avid golfer who played regularly until he was 92 years old. One of his favorite events was the annual Memo Golf Outing, which has three generations of family members competing and enjoying each other's company. He also enjoyed gardening, hunting, reading, watching the Steelers, and especially traveling out west to visit his children and grandchildren in the winter.
