Michele Darmiento-Green

Michele, Mickey, Darmiento-Green was born Michelina Molino in Brooklyn, New York on Wednesday, August 19. Both of her parents were children of Italian immigrants.

Michele finally lost her hard-fought seven-year battle to pancreatic cancer in hospice care at her home in Playa del Rey on Friday, December 7, 2018.

She attended schools in Los Angeles, CA and Buffalo, NY. She worked for Foote, Cone, and Belding and over 28 years for KNXT/KCBS TV as the Community Relations Manager.

Michele is survived by her Husband, Rubin Green, Sisters, Lucia (Juan Carlos) Sirotich-Lebon and Stephanie Sirotich of Playa del Rey, Nephew, Sean (Diana) O’Neill, Grandnephews, Sebastiano, Stephano, and Gianlucca O’Neill of La Habra, half-brother, Warren (Edie) Molino of Flushing, New York, sister in law, Helen Talley of Lancaster, and many cousins across the U.S.

She was generous to a fault, and a confidential supporter of many charities running from St. Jude to the SPCLA, and had a particular soft spot for poodles, rescuing two that became the family “children” for many years.

Michele was an excellent chef, party-giver extraordinaire, and her elegant dinner parties were always accompanied by one or more of her famous dishes. She had exquisite taste and could have rivalled the best interior decorators. She was an avid reader and loved music and musicals, was a child at heart and loved playing games. She was an eye-stopper beauty, but also had a loving and giving heart, a voice to match, and a wonderful sense of humor. Her smile lit up a room and her laugh was infectious. She was passionate, kind, loyal, and her presence filled a room.

She will be dearly missed by all those who knew her.

Her funeral will be at the Green Hills Mortuary and Cemetery, located at 27501 S. Western Avenue, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA on Saturday, December 22 , 2018 at 10:00AM

Viewing will be the day before on Friday, December 21, 2018 from 4:30PM to 8:00PM in the Cove Room.
