Donato, Agatha I.

Agatha I. Donato, lovingly known as “Ida,” of Canton, passed away peacefully on April 4, 2026, at the age of 82 following complications from surgery.

Born in Menfi, Sicily, Ida came to America with her family at a young age and carried with her a deep appreciation for family, tradition, and connection throughout her life. She later became a proud business owner, operating Ida’s Beauty Salon in Stoughton, where she built not only a successful career but lasting friendships with those she served.

Ida was a truly cherished woman whose warmth, generosity, and loving spirit touched all who knew her. She had a special gift for making people feel welcomed, valued, and cared for, and she maintained deep and meaningful relationships with her family and friends throughout her life. Her kindness left a lasting impression on nearly everyone she met, and her presence will be deeply missed.

She was the former wife of Vincenzo “Enzo” Donato. A devoted and loving mother, she is survived by her children, Antoinette Haas and her husband, Stephen, and Antonino Donato, all of Canton. She was the dear sister of Paul Vetrano and Nadine Ambrosino of New York.

Ida was a proud and adoring grandmother to Deanna Reardon, Derek Haas, Rocco Donato, and Maksim Donato, and a loving great-grandmother to Brooks and Romy Reardon. Her family was the center of her life and her greatest joy.

Visiting hours will be held at the Pushard Family Funeral Home, 210 Sherman Street, on Saturday, April 11, from 10-11 a.m. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend. Funeral services will be private.
