Anthony Docampo

YOUNGSTOWN - Prayers will begin Monday morning at 10:30 a.m. at the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Austintown Chapel followed by a Mass of Christian Burial celebrated at 11 a.m. at St. Brendan Church for Anthony DoCampo, 84, of Youngstown's West Side who died Thursday morning at his home.

"Tony" was born July 31, 1933, in Youngstown, the son of Daniel and Philomena (Inhouse) DoCampo.

He attended Chaney High School until enlisting in the Army, serving during the Korean War. He worked as a boiler operator for 28 years at the U.S. Steel Corporation until its closing and then worked as a boiler operator at St. Elizabeth Medical Center before retiring.

He was a member of St. Brendan Church and will be remembered as a true family man who lived his life unselfishly, always putting others first, and dedication to his family. Tony enjoyed gardening, nurturing his peppers, tomatoes and garlic and later spending time on his front porch surrounded by his beautiful climbing flowers. He especially loved the time he shared with his beloved dog, Molly.

His wife, the former Maryann Markovich, whom he married May 5, 1956, preceded him in death April 24, 1997.

He is survived by two daughters, Pamela (Edward, Jr.) Kohl and Kimberly (Ron) Berdis both of Austintown; two sisters, Rose Colbert of Austintown and Dolores Porrazzo of Youngstown; four grandchildren, Justin (Mallory) Silvestri, Nickayla Kohl, Dr. Anthony (Katie) Berdis and Stephanie Berdis; two great-grandsons, Cameron and Bennett Silvestri, and another on the way; and his companion, Alberda Geister of Austintown.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Sam DoCampo.

Friends may call on Sunday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Austintown Chapel.
