Of McMurray, formerly of Churchill, age 92, died peacefully on Thursday, October 16, 2025.

Joe was raised in Verona, the son of Vincenzo and Rosina (Riali) Manni who operated the Manni Grocery in Verona and where Joe worked as a young man.

Joe was the husband of the late Albina Marie “Beanie” (Siconolfi) Manni for 56 years. Joe met Beanie through her sister, Genevieve, at the 1954 Pitt-Penn State football game (which Pitt lost!).

He was the loving father of Joseph Michael Manni who resides in Florida and the late Linda Rose Taylor.

Joe is also survived by his favorite son-in-law, Bill Taylor and his precious granddaughter, Natalie Rose Taylor.

He was preceded in death by his brothers, John and Vincent Manni and is survived by their sons, John and Vince Manni.

Working at his family store provided the means and opportunity for Joe to obtain a Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Pittsburgh, which launched his 31 year career with Westinghouse Electric Co. He also served with the U.S. Army.
