Prayer Service will be held at Fred Hunter's Davie Funeral Home on September 16, 2019 at 7:00pm, with Deacon Ben Roa presiding.

Mausoleum Entombment will follow at Fred Hunter's Hollywood Memorial Gardens in Hollywood, Florida.

Antonietta Di Salvo was born in Calabria Italy and was one of 6 sisters born to Raffael and Giussepina Conti. Antonietta came to the United States in 1954 with her sister Rosetta and father Raffael on the Andrea-Doria (the following year the ship sunk at sea, knowing that the best of Italy had arrived already). Raffael married an Irish Nurse and Antonietta and her sister were adopted immediately. Seven years later she met a very tan and handsome man from Sicily (as they were both living in New York at the time!!!) LUCK WOULD HAVE BOTH VACATIONING AT THE SAME TIME IN MIAMI...THE SPARK WAS LIT!!
Antonietta was married to Frank on November 24, 1962. If it wasn't for his passing 25 years ago they would have been married for 57 years. Greatly we take great solace knowing they could never be apart again even though we miss them.

Antonietta is survived by her four (4) children, Tina, Stephen, Ralph, and Maria; Eleven (11) Grand-Children, Dina, Anna, Frankie, Antonette, Frankie, Vincent, Michael, Joey, Luke, Nicole, and Gabriella; Three Great Grand-Children, Giovanni, Stella, and Nicolas. At the time of her passing she was waiting for two (2) more Great Grand-Kids to be born. She is also survived by her three (3) sisters, Catherine, Ernesta, and Rosetta.
