Carmella Danzo

Carmella Danzo, 93, of Londonderry, Easton, MD, died in her daughter’s arms, on Saturday, June 2, 2012, at Memorial Hospital at Easton. Mrs. Danzo was born on April 19, 1919, in Dunmore, PA, to the late Catherine and Donato Sabato, and was a graduate of Dunmore High School in 1937. She retired from what is now JP Morgan Chase Bank as a manager in charge of their stock transfer department after 30 years of service. In addition, she worked for many years for the local Board of Elections and was active in many of the Greenwich Village Community and church activities including the Feast of St. Anthony, held each year in Greenwich Village, New York City. She held a position at the Rosarian Society and was known for visiting the sick in hospitals and the homebound. She was a generous and loving person to her friends and a devoted caregiver, especially to her husband of almost 73 years, Dominick Danzo. She married Mr. Danzo in 1939 and lived in Binghamton, NY. They spent most of their life in Greenwich Village before moving to Londonderry in 2008. Carmella was loved by all who knew her. Her greatest joy was going out with the ‘girls,’ both in New York and Londonderry. She often referred to Londonderry as the Fountain of Youth and enjoyed the daytrips, yoga class, infamous casino trips, bingo, and other activities. Her hobbies were crocheting, baking, and cooking for friends. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her five-year-old son, Richard, in 1946 who she often referred to as her little angel; three sisters, Isabel Arinoldo, Ann Ross and Mary Alu; and two brothers, Vito and Frank Sabato.

She is also survived by her remaining two brothers, Salvatore Sabato and his wife Ann and her baby brother, Peter Sabato and his wife Theresa; as well as many nieces and nephews.
