Patricia A Deligio

Patricia Ann Antonina Cammilleri was born in Buffalo, New York, in 1951. Moving with her parents to California at just four years old, she established her life in the Los Angeles Area. In 1973 she married Joseph Deligio and became part of the Deligio family. They were later divorced.

Pat passed away peacefully on April 14th, 2026 at the age of 74, surrounded by family at the Monrovia Memorial Hospital in Monrovia, CA. She is survived by her three children, Kelly Ann Deligio, Adrianna Deligio Rosales, and Thomas Deligio; also, her “like a daughter,” Sarah Gonzalez, her two stepchildren, Ralph Deligio and Donna Deligio Mynster, and all of their partners and children. She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Stella Cammilleri.

Mom had a successful career as an entrepreneur, owning her own daycare business early on while raising her children. Later, she developed a strong flair for business as a sales and marketing executive for various companies, including her work representing the Covina Chamber of Commerce. Her enthusiasm for helping others grow their businesses and build connections guided many small businesses to the next level.

Outside of her professional life, Mom had many talents. A singer since high school, she had a beautiful voice. She was also an amazing cook and baker, passing her love of food on to her children. She was very creative; always working on arts and crafts projects, inspiring those around her to do the same. An avid and savvy collector, she had a passion for antiques, vintage items, toys, collectibles, and fine furniture, and she generously shared her knowledge with her children and friends.

Above all, her most important role was being a mother. She was the glue that kept the family together, hosting gatherings over the years (and she especially loved planning Christmas celebrations). Her love was unconditional—no matter what ideas or antics her children had, she stood by their side through every success and every challenge. She was a protector, always caring for others, especially in times of medical need. As a proud Sicilian mother in every sense, she was a true force of love and presence in her home.

She had a strength that was truly remarkable—the strength to fight for her children throughout their lives, the strength to face her own health challenges over the years, and ultimately, the strength to know when to let go.

Rest in peace, Mom. We love you forever and always.
