Albert Anthony Cipicchio, age 70, of Winchester, Virginia died on February 12, 2026. Born on September 26, 1955, in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, he was the son of the late Albert and Mary (Scappatura) Cipicchio and the husband of Mary Ann (Cmar) Cipicchio for 44 years.

With wit, wisdom, and a smile, Albert devoted his life to faith, family, and community. As a Fourth Degree Knight in the Knights of Columbus and a member of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church, his dedication to service in the community was unwavering. He also served as an American Red Cross volunteer, an avid blood donor, and a committed Election Day poll worker.

Following Albert’s graduation from Penn State University, he wrote for the Latrobe Bulletin as Sports Editor before dedicating 25 years to his career as an Air Traffic Controller. In retirement, he pursued passions including golf, photography, travel, and spending time in Calabash. He followed sports throughout his life, especially Pittsburgh teams and Penn State. Albert always looked forward to Spaghetti Sunday, a tradition passed down from his Nana. He cared deeply for his family and his smile was brightest when spending time with his grandchildren. A life well-lived, Albert’s love remains in the hearts of his family and friends forever.

In addition to his wife Mary Ann, Albert is survived by three daughters Renee (Tyler) McCabe, Aimee (Jake) Ramsay, and Sheree Cipicchio; three grandchildren Miles, Madeline, and Mia; siblings Michael (Beth) Cipicchio and Janet (Jim) Schoedel; nieces, cousins, and dear friends.
