Donald E. Skeebo 1933-2020

He was born Oct. 5, 1933, in Youngstown, the son of Michael and Anna (Litwin) Skeebo.

Don was owner and operator of Don Skeebo Carpet Service for many years and retired as an estimator with the Don Booth Co. He was a graduate of South High School. Don was of the Protestant Faith.

He enjoyed being with his family, going to the beach and Disney World, and especially spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and attending their events.

Don was an avid bowler and enjoyed playing both fast- and later slow-pitch softball over the years. He was a longtime Cleveland Browns (whom he never gave up on!) and Indians fan, and also The Ohio State Buckeyes.

Don is survived by his wife of 64 years, the former Peggy Smith, whom he married Jan. 7, 1956; his daughters, Penny Jo (Gary) Shields of Austintown and Donna (Brett) Hendricks of Austintown; his grandchildren, Sara (Tom) Platz, Mallory (Adam) Capretta, Corey (Tracy) Hendricks, Josh Hendricks and Halle (Daniel) Chepke; and his great-grandchildren, Maxton, Amelia, Bryson, Callen and Avery.

Besides his parents, Don was preceded in death by his sister, Josephine Skeebo.

Private family services were held.

The family would like to thank the staff of Briarfield Manor for their compassionate care and concern for Don.
