Anthony “Tony” Zaccagnini, 67, of Ambridge, passed away on August 15, 2025. He was the beloved son of the late Frank and Phyllis (Brunone) Zaccagnini.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 40 years, Norma (Russo) Zaccagnini; his children, Anthony Zaccagnini and Angela Zaccagnini (fiancé, Evan Fullerton); his brother, Frank Zaccagnini; and his cherished grandchildren, Santino and Stella Zaccagnini, Jack Fullerton, and Shauna Smith.
A 1976 graduate of Ambridge Area High School, Tony dedicated most of his life to owning and operating A.Z. Nursery, where he was well known and respected as a landscaper. He had a deep love for Italian music, wine, and spending time with family and his many friends (“the coom’s”). Tony especially enjoyed Halloween, and those who knew him fondly looked forward to his annual celebrations and elaborate decorations.
Tony faced early onset dementia at a young age. Through the unwavering love and care of his wife, Norma, along with the support of family, friends, Life Beaver, Dr. Michael Karp, and Good Samaritan Hospice, he was able to enjoy many birthdays, holidays, and special moments with his grandchildren from the comfort of home.
