Jonalyn Getz DiBella "Jona" Castelli

Jonalyn Castelli Obituary

Jonalyn Getz DiBella Castelli left this world suddenly on April 18, 2023 at age 76. She was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend.

Jona loved dancing, playing cards, playing computer games and enjoying retirement in Florida with her

fiance Mike Ronco.

Jona was born on December 18, 1946. She touched the lives of many with her warmth, kindness and generous spirit. She was a woman of incredible strength and resilience, who overcame many challenges in her life. Despite the many hardships she never lost her sense of humor or her love for her family.

Jona will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her infectious smile, her kind heart and effervescent personality will be remembered. We take comfort in knowing she is now at peace, reunited with her son Brandon and all those who passed before her.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Sister Dearest,
I am still in denial. There is no one I was closer to than you. I'm not ready to say goodbye. I had to leave my message now, before this post goes away.
I will forever think/connect with you at 4:00. CAKE!

Love you more
Pam
