Obituary of Christina M. DiDomizio

Christina DiDomizio, 91, of Mahopac, NY, passed away on March 12, 2024, at Calvary Hospital, Bronx, NY.

Christina was born on December 3, 1932, in Yonkers, NY to Giro and Carmela Guerra, the fifth of seven children. She married her Commerce High School sweetheart and husband of 72 years, Horace DiDomizio, in 1952.

Christina was predeceased by her five sisters Florence Mastroeni, Mary DiMarco, Rose Haley, Susan Azzarra, Carmela DiMarco, and two brothers Ralph Guerra and Anthony Guerra.

Christina is survived by her husband, Horace, a Korean War Veteran, and her four beloved children: Pasquale (Pat) DiDomizio (Angela), Gerald DiDomizio (Annmarie), Joseph DiDomizio (Marilyn), and Christina Piliero-Valastro (John). She is also survived by eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren: Annmarie Kipperman (Sean), Christie Nicotina (Dan), Joseph DiDomizio (Angie), John Valastro, Sam Piliero (Katie), Jason Valastro, Elena DiDomizio, Matthew DiDomizio, Gabriella Nicotina, Juliana Nicotina, Sophia DiDomizio-Gonzalez and Sienna DiDomizio-Gonzalez. Christina also leaves behind 33 nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.

A Yonkers resident from birth, Christina raised her four children in Yonkers and nurtured them to be an active part of the Park Hill community. She was especially devoted to the Park Hill Boys' Club, where she organized annual dinners and attended many sporting events. Christina was also a member of the Park Hill Boys' Club Ladies Auxiliary, where she organized penny socials and other popular community events.

Christina was an avid cook, and her greatest love was cooking for her friends and family. Sunday pasta was a family tradition; her door was always open and was a gathering place for nieces, nephews, friends, and neighborhood children, many of whom considered her a second mom. Christina also enjoyed entertaining and organized huge barbecues for family, friends, and friends of friends. She was the life of every party, with a contagious laugh that brought everyone to tears. She will be deeply missed by her loving family, friends, and all that knew her.
