Mary “Dolly” Natoli (nee DiTommaso) age 80, a fifty-two year resident of Lodi, died peacefully on Monday, March 11, 2013.
She was born in Brooklyn New York and raised in Lakeland Florida. As a young woman Dolly moved to Paterson New Jersey and worked as a waitress and as a seamstress in the textile mills. Always a hard worker she worked for Insley Caterers in Fair Lawn and most recently as a waitress for the Rustic Lodge in Elmwood Park before retiring in 2007.
Many years ago Dolly’s friend Ann was dating a young man named Jimmy Natoli. Jimmy was in the US Army along with his brother Henry. Ann and Jimmy corresponded throughout his military service and eventually Dolly began corresponding with Jimmy’s brother Henry. Dolly and Henry’s courtship was strictly pen and paper for the first few years. Eventually Henry was discharged from the Army and the two began dating and fell in love. They married on August 20, 1955 at Saint Anthonys Church in Paterson and honeymooned in Atlantic City New Jersey. They enjoyed fifty-one years of a loving and devoted marriage until Henry’s passing in 2006.
Dolly was an outgoing person who is best described as a mother to all. She lost her father when she was just three months old and found great pleasure in seeing joy in children’s eyes. For many years she volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club in Lodi where she could see the joy in children’s faces and fill that special part of her heart. She also loved the excursions with her group of friend to Sandy Hook, NJ and Glen Spay, NY. They had fun playing cards and po-ke-no together.
She was a gifted seamstress who made many of her own clothes, sewed and hemmed all family clothes, and could fix a hole in clothing that was virtually undetectable.
Dolly was the beloved wife of the late Henry Natoli (2006); She was the devoted mother of Geralyn Delillo and her husband Robert of Kinnelon, Valerie Harrell and her husband Lonnie of Lakeland, FL, and Christopher Natoli and his wife Mandy of Riverdale; cherished grandmother of Jaclyn, Jillian, Kristen, Katelyn, Robert III, Destiny, Lonnie, Leeann, and Gianna; dear great-grandmother of Cody, Kayle, Madysen, and Joey; loved sister of Lena Caputo of Queens, NY, Gilda Basile and Dominic Caputo both of Tampa, FL.
