Iolanda Santangelo Di Pasquale

Passed away peacefully on Monday July 28, 2025 surrounded by her loving family at the age of 103. Devoted wife of the late Dino. Proud mother of Grace (Egidio), Annamaria (Rocco), Rose (Vince) and Angela (Paul). Cherished Nonna of Nadia (Giorgio), Mauro (Marcie), Iola (Daniele), Gianmarco, Daniele (Genna), Lara (Matt), Anna (Gianluca) and Andrea. Loving Bisnonna of Matteo, Carolina, Eva and Iolanda.

Iolanda has been reunited with her loving husband Dino who she met in her home town of Roccamorice Abruzzo Italy. They were married for 74 years before his passing in 2014.

Iolanda loved having her family around. Sunday dinners were the highlight of her week, this was when all four generations would be seated around the table enjoying her amazing dinners. The aroma of handmade gnocchi, almond cookies and taralli will stay with us forever.

Iolanda enjoyed spending time tending to her vegetable gardens and flower beds. She would spend many hours knitting, sewing and crocheting while listening to her classical music.

“Forever loved, always remembered.”

Family and friends will be received at the Ward Funeral Home 4671 Hwy 7, Woodbridge on Friday August 8th, 2025 from 4-8 p.m. A memorial service will take place in the funeral home chapel on Saturday August 9th, 2025 at 11 a.m.
