Joanne (DeStefano) Colasanti
7/24/2020



Joanne (DeStefano) Colasanti, of Melrose, passed away on Friday, July 24th. She was 77. Born and raised in Medford, she was the cherished daughter of the late William and Carmella "Clara" (DelMastro) DeStefano.

Joanne was the beloved wife of 55 years to Leonard Colasanti. She was the devoted mother of Paul Colasanti and his late wife Kimberly, Karyn Isabella and her husband Albert, and the late Gary Colasanti. She was the loving grandmother of David and Molly Colasanti, and Marc and Lauryn Isabella, and the dear sister of Ellen Todisco and her husband Dennis, William DeStefano Jr., Robert DeStefano and his wife Kerry, Gary DeStefano, and the late Gail DeStefano. Joanne is also survived by many loving family members and friends.

Joanne loved playing tennis, golf and getting together with her many close friends and neighbors. She was a fantastic cook and looked forward to hosting Sunday dinners and family holidays. She was also especially fond of spending time with her husband, children and grandchildren. Countless happy times were spent with them at the family home on Cape Cod. Joanne was very much the heart and soul of her family, and her sound counsel, maternal advice, warm disposition and sense of humor will be sorely missed.

Funeral services will be private. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made in Joanne's name to the Joslin Diabetes Center, Inc., 1 Joslin Place, Suite 745 Boston, MA 02215 or online at joslin.org/support-joslin/ways-give.
