Antonietta DeVitis, 90, of Conway, passed away on May 1st, 2025, in her home with her loving family by her side. She was born in Lettopalena, Italy, on March 6th, 1935, the daughter of the late Eugenio and Camilla (Martinelli) Cavicchia. She is survived by her loving husband of 70 years, Ermando DeVitis, three sons, Phil (Cindy) DeVitis, Gene (Tracy) DeVitis and Tim DeVitis, a daughter, Maria (Michael) delaChevrotiere, five granddaughters: Justine (John) Holleran, Mya and Marisa delaChevrotiere, and Bianca and Morgan DeVitis; as well as two great grandsons, Jack and Ethan Holleran.
Antonietta and her firstborn son, Phil, joined her husband, Ermando, in the United States in 1957. After settling in the United States, their family grew by three more children, Eugene, Timothy, and Maria. Antonietta loved to cook, and she was the best cook, as described by her oldest granddaughter, Justine. Her days were surrounded by meals. As soon as she finished preparing a meal, her mind quickly geared toward the next one. She enjoyed crocheting, watching her “stories;” especially The Young and the Restless. Her favorite color was purple. Above all, she absolutely adored and loved her grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
A visitation for Antonietta will take place on Sunday, May 4th from 2-5 P.M. in the John Syka Funeral Home Inc., 833 Kennedy Drive, Ambridge, where a Blessing Service will take place on Monday, May 5th at 10 A.M. Interment will follow in Calvary Cemetery in Freedom. In lieu of flowers, donations are suggested to St. Jude Children Hospital.
