Vincent Paul Townley, 62, of New Brighton, passed away at home on April 24th, 2025, with his wife and children by his side. He was born on July 30th, 1962 in Grove City, a son of the late LaVerne (Buck) and Rita Townley. In addition to his parents, Vince was preceded in death by his brother, Rev. Edward Townley and his sister, Rebecca Townley. He is survived by his wife, Tina Townley, his children, Matthew (Laura) Glover, Andrew Glover and Anna Townley, his grandchildren, Lee and Elle Glover and his siblings: Robert, Barbara, John, Mark, and David.

Vincent graduated from Grove City and then continued his education at the University of Pittsburgh Jonhstown. He began his journalism career as a sports editor for Allied News, his hometown weekly newspaper. He later took on a similar role at the East Liverpool Review, where he managed coverage for ten area high schools. Before joining The Beaver County Times as sports editor, he spent nearly two decades working with Gateway Newspapers and its parent company, Trib-Total Media. During this time, he played a key role in coordinating news and sports coverage, including leading the Coraopolis-Moon Record. He received many accolades for his writing throughout his career. Most recently, Vincent was employed at ConnectiveRX in Robinson Township, where he served as a Claims Specialist.

In his free time, he enjoyed cheering on Pittsburgh sports teams with his friends at his favorite spot, the Corner Grill. He served several years as the Corner’s Fantasy Football Commissioner and was the winner of this year’s league.

Vincent married his wife, Tina Townley, in May of 1996. He fully embraced Tina’s sons, Matthew and Andrew and raised them as his own. His highlight as a dad was the adoption of his daughter, Anna Townley, who brought immense joy and happiness into his life. The visits from his grandchildren Lee and Elle provided their “Pap” endless joy and comfort.

In addition to his own family, Vincent and Tina fostered over 120 children over the past 28 years through Beaver County Children and Youth Services, providing care and stability to children in need.

Friends will be received on Sunday, April 27th from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. in the J& J Spratt Funeral Home, 1612 Third Avenue, New Brighton. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, April 28th at St. Cecilia Church, 632 Virginia Avenue at 10 a.m. with Brother John Harvey officiating.
