Raymond Markelwith Obituary
Raymond was the devoted husband of Patti Monaco-Markelwith, and a loving father to Tina Marie McGuire (husband Patrick McGuire) and Dawn Marie Pagano (husband Jeffrey Pagano). He was a proud grandfather to Lauren McGuire (husband Gio Million), Vincent, Dominic, and Anthony Pagano, and a cherished great-grandfather to James Million.
Raymond's quiet strength, warm heart, and steady presence will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved him. A man of deep values and service, he was a member of Masonic Lodge #606 in Southampton, which is now Masonic Lodge #806, and a proud Eagle Scout, living a life guided by integrity, loyalty, and compassion.
In his younger years, Raymond was a member of the choir Ambassador, which would later evolve into the renowned Philadelphia Boys Choir. His appreciation for music and the arts remained with him throughout his life.
He was a family man through and through-known for his constant support, his comforting words (especially his famous phrase, "Everything will be fine"), and his sense of humor. He had a way of slipping in clever jokes that often went over your head-but always left you smiling.
Raymond's Life Celebration will be held on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, followed by a Funeral Service at 1:00 PM, at the Decker-Givnish Funeral Home, located at 216 York Road, Warminster, PA 18974. Interment will be private.
