Obituary for Donato DeAngelis

A life Well Lived

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Donato “Dan” DeAngelis on September 21, 2023 at 90 years of age. He lived a good life and is now reunited in Heaven with his beloved wife Annina (nee Rosati). Loving father of Pina Simone (Carmine), JoAnne Burns (Tom) and Robert DeAngelis. Adored grandpa of David (Krystal), Mathew, Kyle and Cory. Predeceased by baby Carmen (1983). Great-grandpa to Giuliana and Adriana. Predeceased by his parents, Filomena (Ciccotelli) and Lamberto DeAngelis and in-laws Domenica (Ferrone) and Giuseppe Rosati. Dear brother of the late Fortuna DeNovellis (late Luigi), late Giovanna D’Alo (Donato)(Italy), Elda DeNovellis (late Alterino), late Giuseppe DeAngelis (late Irma)(Italy), Domenico DeAngelis (late Maria)(Italy), Maria Rosso (late Antonio)(Italy). Dear brother-in-law of the late Antonietta DiPasquale (late Luigi), late Santa D’Angelo (late Antonio), late Maria Rosati (late Antonio), late Angiolina DiPierdomenico (late Giovanni), late Gabriel Rosati (Leda), Lucia Ricci (Tonino), Gino Rosati (Ermie) and Elvira Conte (late Dan). He will be dearly missed by many nieces and nephews in Canada, Italy and Connecticut, as well as many friends and neighbours.

Donato was a dedicated employee who retired from the Windsor Salt Mine after 27 years of service. Donato’s family devotion was admirable. His passion was tending to his fruit and vegetable gardens, which he took care of up until his last days. He also looked forward to spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He always had his “S” cookies available for them to enjoy. Donato was also a master at making his espresso coffee which he proudly served in his china cups, along with a splash of Sambuca.

If you so desire, donations to the Ontario Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.
