Anthony 'Tony' Schiavone, 68, passed away March 21, at home surrounded by family, after a short illness.
Born in Youngstown, OH on January 2,1952, to the late Salvatore & Minnie (Ambrosio) Schiavone, Tony was a lifetime resident of Vienna. He was a 1970 graduate of Ursuline High School and attended Youngstown State University. He worked in the family grocery business for over 25 years before owning a travel agency in the late 90s. Later, he worked in the oil & gas industry as a title abstractor before retiring. Along with spending time with family, his passions in life included golf, traveling and being a die-hard Browns and Indians fan as well as rooting for the YSU Penguins and the Buckeyes.
Tony is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Carol (Whiteside) Schiavone; his children, Chris (Lori) Schiavone of Cortland, Jackie (Eric) Anthony of Cuyahoga Falls, OH & Sal (Sarah) Schiavone of Tallmadge, OH; grandchildren Cooper, Matthew, Grace, Mary, Sydney & Sage. Thank you to those who cared for Tony during his illness at the Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland Clinic Edwin Shaw Rehab, Ohio Living Hospice and Home Instead.
