Mary Ann Dentro Fasullo, age 87, passed away Sunday, December 10, 2023, at home surrounded by her loving family. She was a graduate of Sacred Heart, Baton Rouge High Class of 1954, and Baton Rouge Draughon Business College. She worked as a secretary and shorthand reporter for Mary Evelyn Parker, head of the Welfare Department. She dedicated most of her life to being a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was a proud Italian, devout Catholic and the most selfless person we’ve ever known. She was truly our angel on Earth and her faith and family were her world. She was a fabulous cook, baker and hostess and her home has been the gathering place of her extended family and friends for almost 50 years. She enjoyed her camp at Lake Rosemound, annual summers in Southern California, gardening, sewing and praying the rosary. She had a keen eye for interior design and always kept a lovely home. She is survived by her son Frank Fasullo, Jr. (Lauren), daughter Angela Ashton (Ken), sisters Barbara Messina and Rita Mitre, brother Tony Dentro (Donna), grandchildren Krista Robichaux (Andrew), Nathan Fasullo, Nicole Zimmer (Tyler), Brianna Fasullo, Donovan McClelland (Erin), Chase McClelland (Stevie) and Giuseppe McClelland (Emily), ex-husband Frank J. Fasullo, Sr. (Valerie) and 14 great grandchildren, all of whom she adored and spent much of her time with. She is preceded in death by her lovely daughter, Elizabeth Fasullo, parents Joseph and Josephine Dentro, and brothers Joseph and Gerald Dentro. Visitation at Rabenhorst East, Sunday December 17 from 2pm to 6pm. Visitation at Our Lady of Mercy Church on Tuesday December 19 at 8:30am until mass of Christian burial at 10am celebrated by Reverend Cleo Milano. Burial at Greenoaks to follow. The family expresses sincere gratitude to her loving, dedicated caregivers in the last year and a half of her life, Martile Brooks and Debbie Buford.
