Darlene Ann Quinton, born
on September 10, 1952, passed away
on October 27, 2023.
Daughter of the late Angelo and
Olga (Kowal) Giansanti, she was
the loving mother of two boys,
Kevin Quinton and Daniel Quinton
and proud grandmother of two
grandchildren, Rachel Quinton and
Isabella Quinton. Darlene also
shared a very special bond with
her twin sister, Deborah
Giansanti. Darlene's nephew,
William Flemings, held a cherished
place in her heart as her own. She
is also survived by William's
loving family, Brandi Flemings and
three wonderful children, Anello,
Ansliegh and Jasia and special
mention of their late son, Angelo.
Darlene's warmth and generosity
extended beyond her immediate
family. She had a remarkable gift
for making everyone feel like part
of her own family. Her door was
always open to friends and
relatives and she welcomed them
with open arms. She leaves behind
a legacy of love, kindness and
hospitality that will be
remembered by all who had the
privilege of knowing her.
In her early years, Darlene was a
dedicated part owner and operator
of Sisto's Resturant in Rome, NY.
This was the second location of
her father Angelo's original
location. There her passion for
people shone brightly. Later, she
transitioned to a meaningful
career at the New York State
School for the Deaf, where she
served, tirelessly, for over 25
years. Darlene's deep connection
to the deaf community was further
enriched by her personal
experience, as both of her parents
were deaf. This unique background
undoubtedly fueled her passion for
working at the NYSSD and the
unwavering support for her loved
ones. Her ability to empathize and
communicate effectively, with her
parents and others in the deaf
community, was a testament to her
remarkable understanding and
compassion. Her commitment to her
work and her compassion for the
deaf community left a lasting
impact on the lives of many!
Funeral services will be held at
the convenience of the family.
There are no calling hours.
