Augustine V. Mellace

With heavy hearts, we mourn the passing of Augustine V. Mellace Jr., a beloved musician and devoted family man. Augustine, born on February 21, 1943, to Augustine Sr. and Josephine Mellace, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, peacefully departed this world on September 4, 2024.

Augustine, known for his passion for music and entertainment, delighted audiences with his musical talents. Throughout his career, he graced the hearts of many and shared his love for music with the world. Augustine's unwavering dedication was evident in his 25 years of service on the Tech Team at Langhorne Presbyterian Church, where he poured his heart into each church service. Augustine served his community as a Philadelphia Police Officer, owned his own bakery, and worked as a plumber.

A proud husband, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, and uncle, Augustine cherished his family above all else. He leaves behind his loving spouse, Barbara Mellace, his children Karen DiMeglio (Steve), Vincent Mellace (Jennifer), Pamela D'Ambrosio (Tony), Joe Mellace, Tracey Dailey, Kelly Hayzlip (Chris), Scott Wimmersberger (Megan), and Sandra Zimmerman (Ryan), his 18 grandchildren, several great grandchildren, his sister Elizabeth Mancuso, and many nieces and nephews. Augustine was preceded in death by his parents and 8 of his siblings.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend Augustine’s Viewing on Tuesday, September 10th from 10:00-11:00 AM at the Langhorne Presbyterian Church, 125 E. Gilliam Avenue, Langhorne PA 19047, followed by his Service at 11:00 AM. Interment will take place at Forest Hills Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Augustine’s name to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, https://www.mda.org/, or the Langhorne Presbyterian Church Mission/PLM at the above address.

In moments of sorrow, we find solace in the cherished memories and enduring legacy Augustine leaves behind. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his melodious spirit resonate in our hearts forever.
