Michele DeVito Obituary
As a child, Michele was adventurous and took her brother and her childhood friends on daily neighborhood explorations, and with the younger siblings was the main baby sitter and head cook of the household children's experimental cooking projects. As a young woman Michele went to work for the US Government General Services Administration, and worked a lifetime there as an Administrator until her retirement in 2015. She was a thoughtful sister, aunt, and friend, and as the family "switch board operator" was the first to celebrate all the birthdays, send cards and gifts, and acknowledge hell raising deeds of the gang. She was strong willed all her life, independent, very generous, stylish and blessed with wonderful Sicilian good looks.
On December 18, 2018 she passed away peacefully in her sleep in the family home, surrounded by her loving relatives. She is survived by her daughter Michele Philip, her 93 year old mother Lydia DeVito, siblings Leo DeVito, Lisa DeVito, Brian DeVito (deceased), Gina Webster and Joe DeVito, nieces and nephews Andre DeVito, Vince Dvorak, Jeannine Dvorak (deceased), Lauren Bryant, Brian Webster, Jessica DeVito, Amanda DeVito, Ian DeVito, and Yvette DeVito.
Friends may visit after 12:00pm on Friday, 12/28 with a Memorial Service at 1:00 PM at Duggan's Serra Mortuary, 500 Westlake Ave, Daly City. Please donate to the American Lung Association in Michele's honor, in lieu of flowers or gifts.

I did not know Michele very well during our childhood in Westlake, but I did know Lisa quite well as she was good friends with my sister, Carol Ziegler O'Regan. I also recall Lydia and my late mother, Lois, became occasional telephone friends in my mother's later years.
Considering all that, I extend my most sincere sympathy to the entire DeVito family. Carol and I both know the pain that comes with the loss of a sibling, but I cannot pretend to know the extreme pain Lydia must be feeling having to lose a second child. My thoughts are with all of you.
Most sincerely,
Steven E. Ziegler

My deepest sympathy for your loss. May God be a source of comfort during this challenging time of sorrow. Please take comfort from the words of Psalms 94:19 " When anxieties overwhelmed me, you comfort and soothed me."
