Michael Swierz, preceded by a 9:15 a.m. prayer service at the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes, Austintown Chapel, for Mr. John "Mag" Mancini, 94, who passed away peacefully Monday morning at Hospice House in Poland.
Mr. Mancini was born on Sept. 15, 1921, in Youngstown, son of Dominic and Louise (Colangelo) Mancini, and remained a lifelong resident.

John's wife, the former Katherine Hanuschak, whom he married on June 10, 1944, died April 10, 1978.
John leaves to cherish all their wonderful memories, his two children, Kathy Mancini and Michael Mancini, both of Youngstown; sister Rose Tomidajewicz of Poland; three grandchildren, Anna Mancini, Jason Kerlek, and Katie (Doug) Kirchner; and seven great-grandchildren, Michael, Teresa, Katerina, Patrick, Ian, Mason, and Eli.
Besides his parents, Dominic and Louise, and wife Katherine, John was preceded in death by his three brothers, Chris, Pat and Sal Mancini; and his granddaughter, Skyler.
