Rondi D’Agostino, age 78, of Orange, beloved wife of Michael Bellas, passed away on June 18, 2024. Rondi was born and raised in CA. She was the daughter of the late Bjourn and Jean Halling.
Rondi will be lovingly remembered by her husband Mike Bellas and her son Kristofer D’Agostino. In addition, she will be missed by her sister Karen Burch, her niece Karli Burch (Dave), her great nieces Britta and Thea Halling Cherry, her nephew Soren Burch, her step son Michael Bellas (Betty) and her beloved dog Jack, her stepdaughter Kym D’Agostino (John Cusmano), her grandson Brandon D’Agostino. She was predeceased by her stepson Bret D’Agostino.
Rondi grew up in Sausalito, CA during the time when it was as cool as it got in the 60’s. She always had a love of music, and would tell amazing stories of the bands she would meet and hang out with out west. She graduated from Mt. Tamalpais Hs in Sausalito, and college at St. Lawrence which she attended and enjoyed in her adulthood. Her love of music parlayed into a start in audio. She and Dan D’Agostino began Krell Industries, a high end audio company in 1980. She passionately devoted much of her life to this business. She was able to find new love in her life with Michael Bellas, who she has been with since their marriage in 2006. They shared a love of music and Hi Fi as well. She was a loving partner to him. Rondi had a dry sense of humor, a love of art and an eclectic and always interesting style. She loved to learn, loved to read and loved to listen to stories. She had a kind nature and was generous to a fault.
