PETER DONADIO Obituary

DONADIO, Peter S. Born in Dorchester, MA, on December 12, 1946 and passed into eternal rest on October 7, 2025. He is survived by his beloved wife, Patricia, to whom he was married for over 55 years; and his children: Peter of Quincy, Joyce of South Boston, Kathy (Chris) McDevitt of Milton, and Matthew (Jessica) of Framingham. He was cherished Papa to Ryan, Timothy, Braeden and Shaela. Peter also leaves behind his brother, Anthony, of Quincy; and sister, Barbara, of Chapel Hill, NC; many nieces, nephews and extended family members. He was predeceased by his parents, Peter and Mary; his sister, Maria; and his brother, Paul. Peter grew up in Dorchester, attended Boston Latin and graduated from Boston University. He served in the Army National Guard Reserves and went on to build a successful business as a financial advisor. He did not just manage his clients' investments, he cared for them and their families through many life events. Peter lived life with love, faith and passion. He made friends wherever he went and kept them close forever. He was known for his great sense of humor, practical jokes, and mischievous nature. Faith was not just part of his life, it was the foundation of his life. He lived in service to God and others; his generosity knew no bounds. But most of all, he loved his la famiglia more than anything. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in St. Agatha Church, 432 Adams Street, Milton, Thursday, October 16, at 10:30am. Relatives and friends are invited. Visiting Hours at Dolan Funeral Home, 460 Granite Avenue, EAST MILTON SQUARE, Wednesday, 4-8pm. Interment in Milton Cemetery.
