Obituary of Della M. Theodos

Della M. Theodos, 85, of Orange, formerly of Easton, CT died peacefully surrounded by her loving family on January 15, 2014. Della was born on October 22, 1928 in Pulaski, VA. She was the widow of Vincent Theodos and the daughter of Theodore and Jennie Michele. Raised in Philadelphia, she attended Pierce College.

Her family was the center of her life and she enjoyed golf, travel, bridge, and her charitable efforts with the St. Vincent's Hospital Auxiliary.
