Robert Edwin Albaugh

Robert “Bob” Albaugh, 81, of Wheeling passed peacefully surrounded by his family on Monday August 15, 2022.
He was born to Harold and Nancy (DeMuth) Albaugh on June 24, 1941 in Wheeling. As Bob would say, he married his “beautiful wife” Susan Kemna on December 1, 1962. They spent the next 60 years building their family together.
He was preceded in death by his parents and stepfather Henry Tofaute and brother Jim Albaugh.
Surviving Bob are his caring wife Susan and faithful sister Janet Birch. He is also survived by his children Jay Albaugh, Bobby Albaugh (Beth), Tina Butts (Ron), and Tammy Loader (Bill); Grandchildren Ashley Mullins, Brandon Albaugh, Hannah, Michael, and Ronan Butts, Katie and Kara Loader, and Elizabeth Doyle; many nieces and nephews.
Bob often spoke of how blessed he was to have such wonderful family and friends, particularly Molly Hupp, Bridget Doyle, and Will Albaugh. He was proud to play in the 1959 WV/OH All-Star game representing Triadelphia High School. He loved to tell the story where he accredited the final minute WV win to his cousin Rod’s interception. Bob was an avid sport fan, and especially loved cheering on the mountaineers, Steelers, Pirates, and his children and grandchildren. After graduation, he was employed by Cloverdale Dairy, Gast Bakery, and Neubauer Truck Equipment, and WV/OH Motor Sales before retiring. Bob was a fun-loving jokester who never met a stranger. He was a Catholic by faith, proud to serve in the US Army, and a lifetime member of the Cave Club.
Visitation will be held at St. Alphonsus Church Saturday August 20th from 12:30-2:00 followed by Mass with Rev. Joseph Wiley as celebrant. Interment will be held at the convenience of the family at Halcyon Hills Memorial Park, Sherrard.
