After her children were grown, she worked for over 15 years in Revere public schools in the cafeteria. Upon retiring, she spent most of her time doting on her eight grandchildren and traveling to famous religious sites throughout Europe. She often visited Italy to spend time with her beloved mother and other relatives. She loved to joke and laugh and could not resist holding any babies that were within her reach.
Nonna loved nothing more than attending church, reading about all the saints on her IPad and preparing the next fabulous meal for her family. She was a gift from heaven that we were so lucky to have in our lives, and she will be missed every day for the rest of our lives.
