Obituary of Madeline Santaniello

Madeline T. (Giargiari) Santaniello, 87, died March 15, 2024 at Alliance Health at Maples in Wrentham, MA. She was the wife of the late Joseph B. Santaniello, Sr.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 28, 1936, the daughter of the late Carmelo and Rachel (Dalo) Giargiari, Madeline was a long time resident of Pennsylvania and moved to Franklin, MA in 2022. 

Some of Madeline’s favorite things were singing, dancing, listening to music, and enjoying good food always followed by cake and coffee.  But most of all her biggest joy was being surrounded by her family that she loved dearly.

Madeline is survived by her children, Joseph B. Santaniello, Jr., Teresa M. Santaniello, John E. Santaniello and his wife Anne.

Her grandchildren, Leslie Ann Kadlick and her husband Joseph, Gabrielle Santaniello, Lucia Santaniello, and Luca Santaniello.

Her great-grandchildren Olivia, JoJo, and Lila.

Also by her siblings, Anna Marie Cannistraci and Carmelo Giargiari, and many loving nieces, nephews and cousins.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff at Alliance Health at Maples, especially Gina Brouwer, for the exceptional care and compassion Madeline received while there.
