Diana Fratello Obituary
January 8, 1943 - February 18, 2024
Diana Fratello, beloved mother, devoted wife, and cherished friend, passed away on February 18, 2024, at the age of 81 surrounded by the love of her daughters, Donna Valenzano and Darlene Fratello, and their husbands, Frank Valenzano and Mike Drafts. Diana is now reunited with her great love, her husband Dominick Fratello, and her parents, Samuel and Annette Crooks, who preceded her in death.
Diana's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with creativity, purpose, and limitless empathy. A long-time resident of Linden, NJ, she poured her heart and soul into her community, championing causes close to her heart. Diana found joy in volunteer work, particularly at the local animal shelter, where she tirelessly advocated for the rights and welfare of animals. She brought light and warmth into the lives of many, and her memory will continue to inspire kindness and compassion for years to come.
A joint celebration of life for Diana and Dominick will be held on April 6th at 12PM EST, at Luciano's Ristorante & Lounge,1579 Main St., Rahway, NJ. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the ASPCA in her honor.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.
