Joseph Totoritis

Joseph Totoritis, 94, of S. Chesterfield, Virginia, passed away peacefully on December 21, 2025. Born on November 14, 1931, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Joseph, known to family and friends as Joe or Pop, lived a long and meaningful life marked by devotion to his family, faith, and community.

At the age of seventeen, Joe joined the United States Navy. He served honorably for four years, laying the foundation for a life defined by dedication and resilience.

For over 56 years, Joseph was a faithful Jehovah's Witness. His spiritual commitment was a guiding force throughout his life and brought him strength and purpose.

Joe shared an extraordinary bond with his beloved wife, Anna S. Totoritis. Their marriage spanned an incredible 72 years—a testament to their enduring love and partnership. Together, they built a family that brought them immense pride and joy.

He is lovingly remembered by his children: daughter Patty L. Dolan; son Paul J. Totoritis and his wife Rebecca; and daughter Cheryl T. Davis and her husband William. He was predeceased by his son Joseph W. Totoritis.

Joe's legacy continues through his grandchildren: Jessica Dolan, Kristen Totoritis, Alaina Rauth (James), and W. Jared Davis (Jackie); his great-granddaughters, Cara Keeton, Olivia Samuel, and Aubrianna Samuel. He was also blessed with extended family from Paul and Rebecca's marriage that included granddaughter Bristol Brown and great-grandchildren Kinden and Kylie James.

A hardworking man known for being a jack of all trades, Joe earned the admiration of not only his family but also countless customers who came to rely on his skills and integrity over the years. His cheerful spirit and joking demeanor left lasting impressions on everyone he met—from lifelong friends to the loving aides who cared for him during his final days.

Joe's warmth, positivity, and unwavering loyalty will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

May his memory bring comfort to those who loved him and continue to inspire all whose lives he touched.
