“Beloved mother, grandmother & great grandmother”

WOLCOTT, CT - Mrs. Antoinette “Toni” (D’Amico) Capobianco, 96, passed away peacefully at her home with her family by her side on Wednesday, March 17, 2021. She was the loving wife of the late Pasquale Capobianco who passed away in 1993.

Toni was born in Waterbury on July 3, 1924, a daughter of the late Michael and Angeline (Augelli) D’Amico. She worked for the Uniroyal Chemical Company in Naugatuck for over 39 years before retiring from the former Howland Hughes Department Store in Waterbury, where she was known as the “elevator lady.” She was an excellent Italian cook and was known for her Chig-a-dails (Cavatelli), homemade raviolis, Italian cookies and her Easter rice pies. She enjoyed playing bingo, sitting at the slot machines at the casinos, doing her Word Search Puzzles and spending time with her Laurel Ridge and Chestnut Hill family, but truly loved the time spent with her family, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She leaves her two sons, Patrick Capobianco and his wife, Josephine, of Thomaston and Michael Capobianco and his wife, Dawn, of Bristol, her daughter, Kathy Sirois and her husband, Thomas, of Wolcott, her four loving grandchildren, Kristen Bessette and her husband, Ryan, Patrick A. Capobianco, Sarah K. Capobianco and Mikey A. Capobianco, her three great grandchildren, who she adored and would often say “All I want to see is my three babies” Ryan Thomas, Brayden and Ashton Bessette, her niece, Josephine Rodrigues who was like a daughter to her (she liked you more) along with several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her siblings, Pasquale and John D’Amico and Lucy Florio.

The family would like to thank the VITAS Hospice Team and Toni’s caregiver, Jessica, who provided great comfort and excellent care to Toni over the last month.
