She was devoted to her husband Antonio to whom she was married to for 54 years, her two children, four grandchildren and one great granddaughter.

Ways she expressed her love to her grandchildren was by sending her homemade tomato sauce (gravy) to her grandchildren and always remembering their birthdays and special occasions. She held great joy in hosting people at her house, the highlight being an Italian American Celebration, The Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. This event was eagerly anticipated by family, friends and neighbors. She was extremely proud of her Italian heritage.
