Mark Biondi Obituary

Mark Biondi, 66, of Fleetville, passed away on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at Green Ridge Care Center. Mark suffered a life-altering stroke in January 2023 and, despite his efforts in rehabilitation, he ultimately passed away peacefully in his sleep.

Mark was born on Sept. 21, 1957, in Peckville, to the late Michael and Delores Newton Biondi. He was a 1975 graduate of Valley View High School. He built a successful career in the car business in Northeastern Pennsylvania with most of his employment spent at Scranton Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep.

Mark will be dearly missed by his beloved wife, Karen Stash Biondi, with whom he shared a beautiful marriage of 19 years filled with love and laughter. They shared fond memories of adventure and fun, while also enjoying the comforts of everyday life. He was a supportive father and stepfather to his children and a cherished Nono to his grandchildren.

Mark was known for his bold sense of humor and adoration for his dogs, Tia and Teddy. He enjoyed playing golf (and, of course, watching golf), cooking, wheelin and frequenting local eateries by way of "back roads." His loyalty, character and aptitude in the kitchen will be forever treasured and deeply missed.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by a son, Joshua VanDuzer; three daughters, Bettina (Zeb) Guy, Chrissy (Ben) Wynn, Molly (Eli) VanDuzer-Zitch; four grandchildren, Annalese and Grayson Guy, Benjamin and McCarney Wynn; a brother, Michael (Judy) Biondi; and two sisters, Karen Mattey and Gloria Spryn.

He was preceded in death by a brother, Eugene Biondi; a sister, Anita Fumani; and a brother-in-law, Daniel Mattey.

The family will be holding a private service to honor Mark's memory. For those who wish, please send condolences to the surviving members of his family.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to all the caregivers, medical staff, nurses and doctors who took care of Mark, both in his home and at various hospitals and facilities in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Arrangements are under the care of Rapoch Semian Funeral Home Inc., 420 Church St., Archbald, Pa.
