Sandra Daniele Obituary

Sandra Mancini Daniele, 83, of Hamden entered into rest on April 17, 2024.  For the past 66 years, she was the beloved wife and soulmate of Dominic Jerry Daniele, Sr. Sandy truly was the matriarch of her family which, in addition to Dominic, includes her three  treasured children Donna Daniele, Laurie (David) Hill and Dominic J. (Anna) Daniele, Jr., her adored grandchildren David Brian (Vanessa) Hill, David Edward (Jessica) , Joseph, Jasmine and Jada Daniele; 5 precious great grandchildren; her loving sisters June Daigle and the late Barbara Petrulis, three very special nieces Debbie Rizzo, Sharon Mancini and Cindy Franco and several other nieces and nephews. A daughter of the late Thomas and Cecilia Julius Mancini, Sandy was born in New Haven.

An extremely active person, Sandy began her work career at the former Park Plaza Hotel, New Haven during the 1970’s and 1980’s. She ultimately retired after 30 years of service in the radiology dept. at the Hospital of St. Raphael.  Never one to sit still for a minute and very talented, Sandy enjoyed baking and cooking, sewing and crafting and playing bingo.  She was well known for her Maggie dolls, which were a hit at many craft fairs throughout the area.

Sandy loved life and lived it bravely on her terms. She was a role model for her family and a mentor to many others, leaving a wonderful impact on so many. She truly was a woman of strength.  Her husband Dominic was the devoted and round-the-clock caregiver for Sandy, never leaving her side, making sure he tended to her every need.  In addition, the Daniele family sends a heartfelt thank you to the hospice home care team, Don, Katherine, Ashley and Jennifer for the compassion, support and dedication that allowed Sandy to remain comfortably in her home.

A celebration of Sandy’s life will take place on Saturday April 20, from 10:30 to 12:30 pm at the West Haven Funeral Home, shared remembrances begin at noon. In the true spirit of Sandy, please wear casual attire.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Yale-New Haven Health at Home, Hospice, 753 Boston Post Road, Suite 201, Guilford, CT. 06437.
