Agapito "Cubby" Conti

Agapito “Cubby” Conti, age 92, of Boyers passed away Thursday, July 4, 2024 while under hospice care at AHN Grove City following a prolonged illness.

Cubby was born March 27, 1932 in Villa Sant’Angelo (Tussillo) Italy.  He was the son of Cesare and Maria Liberata Carusi Conti.  His parents, two brothers and two sisters preceded him in death.

Cubby retired from U.S Steel after over thirty years of service in Boyers, Ellwood City and Youngstown.  He was a lifelong member of Epiphany Catholic Church (St. Alphonsus Parish).  His favorite hobby and source of great pride was gardening.   He enjoyed fishing and the outdoors immensely and was part of the greatest bocce team ever assembled in northern Butler County, Go-Go Internationale.

Cubby’s greatest joy, however, was his family.  He married the love of his life, Maria Luisa DeMichele on September 10, 1967 until her passing in November 2011.  He is survived by his only child, Emidio “Mimmo” Conti, his beloved and cherished grandson, Mario D. Conti and the most precious blessing of his great granddaughter, Callie Grace Conti.  He and his wife gave of themselves selflessly for the surviving members of the family, who are eternally grateful for their love and sacrifices.  He is also survived by several nieces and nephews in both Italy and the United States.

The family will receive friends at the William F. Young Funeral Home, 132 Main Street, West Sunbury from 11 to 1 Monday, July 8, 2024.  A Blessing service will follow at 1 P.M. with Father Adam Verona of St. Alphonsus Parish officiating.

Burial will follow at the Epiphany Cemetery in Boyers.
