Delfina Del Pozzo, of Wantagh, New York, passed away peacefully on April 29, 2025. She was the cherished wife of Giovanni Del Pozzo, who predeceased her in 1988, and now, after so
many years apart, they are reunited once more.
Delfina was the devoted and loving mother of Anna DeVivo (John), John (Lisa), and Barbara Tarpey (Michael), and the proud Nonna to Deanna, Victoria (Michael), Jaclyn (Joseph), John Jr.
(Alessia), Joseph (Sabrina), Christina, Michael, and Lauren. She also held a special place in her heart as Bisnonna to her precious great-granddaughter Sofia.
Born in Italy as one of eight children, Delfina carried with her the strength and spirit of her family when she immigrated to the United States in June 1959. With courage and determination, she
built a new life rooted in love, tradition, and resilience. Together with her beloved Giovanni, Delfina opened the doors of their restaurant, Ristorante Delfina, not just to serve food, but to share joy. Their warmth and generosity created more than a business, it became a second home where everyone was welcomed as family. Through it all, Delfina’s heart never wavered, her family was always her greatest pride and priority. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures, sunny days at the beach with dear friends, and the laughter of her children and grandchildren echoing around the Sunday dinner table. These were the moments that filled her heart.
Delfina’s legacy is one of love, strength, and unwavering devotion to family. While her absence leaves an ache in our hearts, her family takes comfort in knowing she is now at peace, embraced once again by the love of her life.
