Carmela Grimaldi Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Messinger Mortuaries-Pinnacle Peak Mortuary on Jun. 25, 2025.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Carmela "Millie" Grimaldi, who died peacefully on June 22, 2025 at the age of 93 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Carmela was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, leaving behind a legacy of love, and strong family values and traditions.
Born on February 26, 1932 in Brooklyn, New York to Concetta and Giovanni D'Onofrio, Carmela lived a life filled with kindness, goodness, and a steadfast faith in Jesus Christ. The youngest of eight children, she dedicated her life to her family, always offering a listening ear, a warm embrace, and unwavering support. She found joy in cooking, her family, and her faith.
She is reunited in Heaven with her loving husband Raymond of 62 years. She is survived by her children Joan, Patrick (Deborah), and Maria (Matthew), grandchildren Patrick, Matthew (Jennifer), Joshua, and Jordan, and great-grandchildren Julianna and Cole. Her commitment to God and family, always displayed with unconditional love, will be forever cherished.
In her own words, "God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world and to be happy with Him forever in Heaven."
