Her Mass of Christian Burial will take place Friday, August 16, 2024 in St. Mary's Catholic Church in Meggett at 11:00 am, followed by Rite of Committal in Holy Cross Cemetery on James Island.

Patricia was born July 27, 1946 in Brooklyn, New York, daughter of the late Harold DiLello and Frances Pecoraro DiLello. As the saying goes, you could take Patty out of Brooklyn, but you couldn’t take Brooklyn out of Patty. It was there she met the love of her life, Vincent, at just 12 years old. They married when she was 19 and enjoyed a long and beautiful marriage together. They raised their children in East Windsor, New Jersey, where she became one of the only female produce brokers of the time, primarily supplying potatoes to stores in the southeast. She then worked at Ellentuck & Springer as office manager for many years before moving to Vienna, Virginia, where she worked at Deltec as the consultant manager. After moving to Lady Lake, Florida, she devoted much of her time to volunteering with GRTS, a program that provides a residential service for individuals with mental challenges and working in her beloved garden. She then relocated to Hollywood, SC, where she continued to enjoy gardening in addition to exploring the Lowcountry and its local cultural scene. She could often be found in the kitchen humming a Sinatra tune while cooking one of her delicious meals. She loved reading, doing crossword puzzles and listening to music. No matter where she was, she was known for her sharp wit, her keen sense of humor, and most of all, her abundant and generous heart. She was loved by all who knew her and always provided a compassionate ear and sage advice. She had an exceptional gift for making everyone around her feel special and could always light up a room. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
In addition to her husband of 58 years, Patricia is survived by her children, Stephanie Canciello of Charleston, SC and Salvatore Canciello (Virginia) of Bedford, MA; grandchildren, Vincent Canciello and Helen Canciello; sister, Dorothy Guarillio of Middletown, NJ; “bonus” grandson Atticus Ralph, as well as many loved nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Patricia was preceded in death by her daughter, Christine Canciello; brother, John DiLello; and step-mother, Triestina Gallo.
Memorial donations can be made in Patricia's memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
