Theresa Belcastro Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Theresa D'Addesa Belcastro, 58, passed away and returned to God on Wednesday, October 15th, the feast day of St. Theresa. She passed away in her Staten Island home surrounded by the love of family.
Nothing was more important to Theresa than continuing her ten-year battle against Ovarian Cancer with unshakable strength and faith to make memories with her daughters. Throughout her fight, Theresa cherished being a mother, wife, sister, aunt, and friend by lending an ear, showing up for others' milestones, and in countless other ways.
As a Staten Island native, Theresa belonged to many communities, especially those formed through her time as an HR secretary at the New York Stock Exchange and a Paraprofessional at P.S. 5. Every person Theresa came across felt her impact.
Theresa's tenacity, combined with the compassionate care of Dr. Alden and the nurses at Lenox Hill Hospital, allowed her to be present and see her dream come true. The Lopa family and hospital transformed her hospital room into a bridal boutique, allowing her to see her daughters in wedding dresses.
Theresa will be remembered most for her unrivaled kindness. Her daughters will continue her legacy by striving to live up to her example, and they hope that the people whose lives she touched will join in doing the same.
The family will receive friends from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 19, 2025, and 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.on Monday October 20, 2025 at the John Vincent Scalia Home for Funerals, Inc., 28 Eltingville Blvd, Staten Island, New York.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church located at 5411 Amboy Road Staten Island, New York 10312. Interment will follow in St Peter's Cemetery, Staten Island, NY.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition to provide resources for survivors and caregivers at www.ovarian.org/donate
