Ronald Anthony Manghese

Ronald A. Manghese, 65, of New Philadelphia, passed away suddenly Sunday, January 10, 2021 at his residence.

On July 1, 1978, he married the love of his life, Thelma A. (Harrington) Manghese and together shared over 42 years of marriage and many adventures together. Also surviving are his twin daughters, Charlotte (George) Woods of Canton and Shelley Solis of Warsaw, Indiana; a son, Matthew (Crystal) Manghese of Staley, North Carolina; five grandchildren, Anthony (Lizzie), Aleesha, Nelson, Katrina and Thomas; a great granddaughter, Camille and three sisters, Diana (Randy) Felgenhauer, Karen Nagle and Terri (Dave) Wolfarth.
