Linda Jo D'Antonio

In Loving Memory of Linda Jo Walsh D'Antonio

Linda Jo Walsh D'Antonio was born in Huntland, Tennessee, to Helen and Timothy Walsh. She lived there until age three, when her family relocated to New York. Though she grew up in New York, Linda cherished her Tennessee roots and spent most of her childhood summers on her grandparents' farm with her beloved sister, Ginger. Those summers with her Mamie and Grandpa created treasured memories that stayed with her throughout her life.

After settling in New York, Linda's family welcomed a third child, James, who preceded her in death. At age 14, Linda met the love of her life, Albert D'Antonio, who was 16 at the time. After Albert returned home from serving in the United States Air Force, the two married and went on to share 62 wonderful years together.

Linda and Al were blessed with two children: Denise Vickroy and her husband, Kenneth; and Albert D'Antonio III and his late wife, Karen. Denise and Kenneth are the proud parents of twin daughters, Samantha Lightbody and her husband, James, and Nicole Alexander and her husband, Tyler. Albert and Karen raised three sons: Ryan and his wife, Luisa; Aron and his significant other, Angelica; and Dylan and his longtime girlfriend, Hailee.

Linda and Al lived life to the fullest—traveling, entertaining family and friends, sharing dinners, taking cruises, and enjoying trips to the casino. Many cherished memories were made at Raveneaux Country Club, surrounded by loved ones.

Linda is also survived by her sister, Ginger Petrocelli, and Ginger's late husband, Albie, along with their two sons, Mark and Albert Peter. Mark was tragically lost on September 11th. Albert Peter and his wife, Andrea, carry on the family with their two daughters, Emily and Lily.

Linda also leaves behind numerous great-grandchildren and close friends. Her legacy of love, devotion, laughter, and family will remain in the hearts of all who knew her, forever. ❤️
