Larry Abbott Obituary Larry D. Abbott, 73, of East Liverpool, left us on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at Continuing Health Care after bravely battling a long illness. Born on July 6, 1952, in East Liverpool, he was the cherished son of the late Everett and Virginia Jones Abbott.
Larry graduated from Washington High School in South Bend, IN, and dedicated much of his working life as a groundskeeper at Notre Dame University, later contributing his talents at Marsh Bellofram in Newell, WV. He will be lovingly remembered by his sister, Phylis McFarlane, and her husband, Dan, along with many nieces and nephews who held a special place in his heart.
Our gratitude extends to his wonderful niece Melissa Wade for her unwavering love and support throughout his journey. Preceded in death by his sisters, Corbetta Radcliff and Donna Melone, Larrys spirit will undoubtedly continue to inspire and uplift those who knew him.
He is in the compassionate care of the Arner Funeral Chapel. To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Larry Abbott, please visit our Tree Store.
