Domenica Tarantino

Domenica "Mimi" Tarantino, of Manchester, NJ, passed on June 9, 2026, at the age of 96. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Mimi lived in Queens before moving to Leisure Village West in Manchester, over 20 years ago.

She was a hairdresser by trade, but Mimi was a true entertainer and singer at heart. She performed in the Catskills numerous times and while living in Leisure Village, Domenica put on over 52 shows. She also was a member of the Italian Club, Jewish Club, Irish Club and the Players Group. Domenica was an excellent cook and made the best meatballs ever. Domenica was always active; she was either going to a meeting, a dance or a show. Not only was she very active in the village, she also met a wonderful group of friends, who are more like family than friends. Once you met her, you couldn't help but enjoy her company.
