Angelo Americo Zambetti

Angelo Americo Zambetti, age 89, of Venice, FL, and formerly of Laurel, MD, Taneytown, MD and Mechanicsburg passed away on Monday, June 8, 2026, in Sarasota, FL. Angelo was born on Tuesday, May 11, 1937, in Old Forge to the late William Zambetti and Antonetta (Pignatelli) Zambetti. Angelo was the widower of Geraldine "Gerri" Mary (Maninski) Zambetti, whom he married on July 8, 1961, and who died on April 26, 2005.

Angelo's survivors include his son: Gary Zambetti, and his wife, Kelly, of Venice, FL; his three grandchildren: Nicholas Zambetti, and his wife, Haley, Benjamin Zambetti, and his wife, Michaela, and Matthew Zambetti; his two siblings: Anthony Zambetti of Old Forge, and Rita Suess of Houston, TX; and several nieces and nephews.

Angelo graduated from Old Forge High School as part of the class of 1954. After high school, Angelo proudly served his country by enlisting in the U.S. Navy. Following his discharge from the military, he attended Penn State University, where he graduated in 1962 with an Associate's Degree in Electrical Engineering.

After college, he moved to Maryland to accept a position with the National Security Agency. After more than 33 years of service, Angelo retired to enjoy talking care of his yard, attend his grandsons baseball and soccer games along with spending time with his family and friends. Angelo relocated to Taneytown in 2005 and held a position as councilman on the Taneytown City Council from 2007 to 2016.

Though he now rests, Angelo Americo Zambetti’s story continues in each person whose path he crossed, in every gesture of gentleness, and in the quiet, persistent echo of a life lived with purpose and care.
