      Mauro Cabell, 88, of Hazleton passed away Monday at his home. Born in Hazleton, he was the son of the late Willliam and Anne (Fay) Cabell. He was a lifelong parishioner of Our Lady of Peace Parish at Our Lady of Grace Church, Hazleton.
       
      Mauro was a 1954 graduate of Hazleton High School. After graduation he served in the Air Force during the Korean War. Upon leaving the service, Mauro returned to Hazleton and married his high school sweetheart, Lillie (Dragonette). He spent his career as a sales representative and was co-owner of an Orange Julius franchise in the Wyoming Valley Mall, Wilkes-Barre PA.
       
      Mauro was an active high school reunion committee co-chairperson. He was instrumental in planning and organizing the Class of 1954 reunions and events. He continued to do so until their 65th class reunion in 2019. He was also an active member of the Hazleton Lions Club and served as past president.
       
      Mauro was an avid sports enthusiast. He loved attending local basketball and football games and had a passion for Penn State Football. He was lovingly known as “Penn State Pop” by his great grandson. He also enjoyed a weekly card game with his buddies. More than anything else, Mauro loved his family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather.
       
      Preceding him in death, in addition to his parents, were his wife the former Lillie Dragonette, siblings; Elizabeth Boyle, Appolonia Mayernick, Frank Cabell and Frederick Cabell.
