Mae Etta Dellamandola 
May 2, 1919 - January 8, 2005



  Mae Etta Dellamandola, 85, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, 
January 8, 2005.
Mae was born on May 2, 1919 in Stockton, the youngest of ten children born to 
Giacomo and Maria Tassano. When Mae was a young girl, she went with her family 
to dances at Growers Hall where her brothers taught her to dance. She loved 
ballroom dancing, and in 1937 at the Cinderella Ballroom in downtown Stockton, 
she was introduced to John Dellamandola. That was the beginning of their life 
together on and off the dance floor. For many years they went to weekly dances 
in Stockton and the surrounding area. In the 1930's, while in high school and 
after graduation, she and her sister Elsie played softball for the champion 
Harvard Bookies and the Branch Tommies. In 1975, along with their teammates, 
they were inducted into the Stockton Athletic Hall of Fame. Mae was a housewife 
who enjoyed cooking for family and friends and working in her yard. She will be 
remembered for her bright smile, sparkling laugh and her husband, John.
Mae was preceded in death by her husband, John; her loving brothers, Anthony V. 
Tassano, Criston Tassano and James L. Tassano of Stockton and John B. Tassano 
of Manteca and her sister, Elsie Hoppell of Stockton. She is survived by her 
loving sisters, Mary Jones of Colorado, Elena Costrini of Stockton; brothers, 
Frank (Bill) Tassano and Fred Tassano (wife, Anita) of Stockton; sisters-in-
law, Mina Tassano and Viola Tassano and nieces and nephews. 
Now Mae and John are together dancing in Heaven.
At her request, there will be no visitation and committal will be private. 
DeYoung Memorial Chapel, 601 N. California St., Stockton, CA, in charge of 
arrangements.
Instead of flowers, donations can be made to the charity of your choice.
