Dolores A. Pyanoe (née Piscitelli), aged 84, of Wall, New Jersey, passed away on November 2, 2025. Born on February 25, 1941, in Long Branch, New Jersey, Dolores was a lifelong Jersey Girl who touched the lives of many with her vibrant personality and boundless compassion.

A graduate of Long Branch High School, Dolores dedicated her life to her family and her community. She was a loving mother of three and a homemaker, who also owned and operated a gas station and a construction cleaning company. Her work ethic and dedication to her family were unparalleled.

Dolores was a devout Catholic and an active member of Saint Rose in Belmar, New Jersey. Her faith played a significant role in her life and inspired her to live with kindness and generosity. Dolores’s spirit was marked by her joyous love for life, which included dancing and enjoying live music, especially when she was watching her daughter Dina sing and perform with her band. Dolores and Dina were exceptionally close, always together enjoying the adventures that life brings, and when not together, through their dozens of daily phone calls.  Dolores also enjoyed her frequent trips to Atlantic City, and she cherished her travels to Italy, embracing every opportunity to experience new cultures.

She is survived by her daughter, Dina Pyanoe; Dina's partner, Beth Kellner, and Beth's children and grandchildren. Dolores also leaves behind her granddaughter, Brooklynn Frago. She was preceded in death by her sons, Joseph Pyanoe and James Patrick Frago, Jr.; her parents, Carmella and Dominick Piscitelli; and her brother, Dominick Piscitelli, Jr.

A funeral mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 15th at St. Agnes Roman Catholic Church in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. Following the mass, a private Celebration of Life will be held to honor Dolores’s memory. The Damiano Funeral Home in Long Branch, New Jersey, is assisting the family during this time.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Dolores can be made to the Monmouth County Meals on Wheels program, an organization she deeply supported. Contributions can be made at www.interfaithneighbors.org/mealsdonation.

Dolores’s legacy of love, laughter, and selfless giving will continue to inspire those who knew her, as she will be dearly missed and forever cherished in the hearts of her family and friends.
