Before getting cancer, she loved going shopping and out to eat with her daughters on the weekend. She was a dedicated attender of Sunday mass at St. John’s the Evangelist Church, and still received weekly communion in her home prior to her death. She also had a passion for growing flowers and vegetables. She loved to make tomato salads, cooked green beans and stuffed peppers in the summer and always had lots of flowers in the front and side of her house. Her favorite flowers were carnations and roses. She had a real fondness for cats and could always be found with cats either in her lap or around her legs. They were her babies. Ciao Mamma! Ci vediamo in paradiso. Salute Papa! In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity/ animal shelter of your choice in her name or plant some flowers in your yard.
