Angela Teresa DeSantis

Angela Teresa DeSantis died in Sarasota on August 19, 2026. She was 71. Born in Sarasota on January 22, 1955, with Italian-American roots that shaped the table more than the flag. She learned early that a day is something you finish, not something you wait for. She ran floors that never slept. A checklist in two languages kept standards; she taught that a made bed is a small mercy. Colleagues still mention a cart checklist in two languages. She married Marco in 1981. They kept a house that stayed modest when the neighborhood did not. They raised two sons through public schools and ordinary weather. After Marco died in 2019, she kept the routines that still made sense: the walk, the garden, the Sunday call. Neighbors remember covered dishes that arrived without a speech. She liked early mornings before the heat or the noise. She died in Sarasota, among streets she never needed to explain. The key is still under the same brick.
