Obituary of Marcella Di Natale

It is with great sadness that we announce the tremendous loss of a special and devoted wife, mother, nonna, sister and good friend. Her adoring family were nearby having spent the final days and moments with her, holding her hands, and whispering their final goodbyes as she passed peacefully. She is survived by her husband Quirino with whom she celebrated 55 years of marriage. Cherished mother of Roberto and wife Stella, Nancy, and Marco and wife Fran. Adored nonna of Roberto Jr., Christopher, Maichol, Deborah, Marissa, Massimo and Martina. Dear sister of Maria and husband Rodolfo Quaranta of Italy. She is now reunited with her loving parents Maria and Celeste Di Girolamo. She will be deeply missed by many nieces, nephews, and her special group of caring friends who she treasured dearly. Marcella was a loving, compassionate and selfless woman who deeply cared for her husband, children and grandchildren with an unending commitment. She stood strong and held on to her faith through difficult times and was truly an inspiration to many. Her traditions will continue to live on in the hearts and lives of her family.
