WATERTOWN â On January 16, 2021, Daniela Katherine Paternostro, a beautiful bright light, entered into Godâs care, being taken away too soon after 20 years on this earth. Daniela battled excruciating mental health episodes and fought as hard as she could with her addiction.
Growing up in Watertown, Daniela was a graduate of Watertown High School and worked at Fino Wood Fired Pizza. From a young age, Daniela enjoyed gymnastics, karate, cheerleading, numerous activities of the performing arts and was a talented singer and artist.
At just 5 years of age, she was crowned âLittle Miss Watertownâ and at the age of 6, one of Danielaâs greatest accomplishments was winning the Connecticut Talent Competition; later being invited to perform in the Miss Connecticut Gala.
