Neil Manganelli, 65, of Pardeesville, passed away on Monday, October 19, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.
Born on September 2, 1961, in Levittown, Pennsylvania, he was the son of the late Pasquale Manganelli and Carmine Piskel.
Neil was employed as a Production Divider Operator at the former Stroehmann’s Bakery until his retirement.
A die-hard Miami Dolphins fan, Neil loved playing the drums, card collecting, birdwatching, and, most importantly, spending time with his family. He especially cherished the moments spent with his children and grandchildren, creating memories that will be treasured for generations.
Neil was a man who could make you laugh, make you feel loved, and leave a lasting
impression wherever he went. He was loved by so many, and he gave that love right back. He made memories, told stories, shared
laughs, and touched more lives than he probably ever realized.
He is survived by his loving wife, Danielle; his son Matthew and wife Teri; daughter Michelle and husband Cain; son Neil and Kansas; and daughter Grace and Johnathan. He is also survived by his beloved grandchildren, Eli, Ace, James, and Nya; his siblings, Pat, Michael, James, Marian, Marlene, Frank, Carmine, and Alfie; as well as several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Neil was preceded in death by his son, James.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects on Friday, October 23, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at McNulty Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held on Monday, October 26, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. at Faith United Church of
Christ in Hazle Township.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Neil’s memory.
There will never be another quite like Neil. The stories, laughter, and love he leaves behind will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him. Words cannot express how deeply he will be missed, but if he could leave us with one last thing, it would probably be a laugh, a joke, or a reason to shake our heads and smile.
Rest easy, Dad. Until we meet again.
Forever loved. Never forgotten. Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.
