We are extremely saddened and heartbroken to announce that our mother Agata (Borsellino) Libertella, age 88, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her two daughters, in the early morning of July 21, 2022 due to congestive heart failure.
She was born May 27th 1934, in Cattolica Eraclea Sicily to Antonino Borsellino and Caterina Messina. She married her longtime love and friend Giovanni Libertella, via proxy on January 24th 1952 who preceded her in death on December 12 th, 2015. They have now been reunited in heaven to dance to their favorite song "Una Spina e Una Rosa".
Having been in the catering business most of her adult life surrounded by her husband Giovanni and most of her immediate family members Agata developed a taste for entertainment, good music and great food. She had a real joy for life and entertainment and had a vivacious personality.
The Matriarch and anchor of the family, she was more than happy to be the central figure in the lives of her children Giuseppe, Antonino, Vincenzo, Maria, and Caterina and embraced every moment she had with them. Anyone who knew her knew that they were the stars in her eyes. She especially loved her role as Nana to her grandchildren Johnny, Giovanni, Agatha, Pietro, Joey, Brianna, Joseph, Isabella and Antonina and all her great-grandchildren.
Agata is survived by her sisters in law Anna, Giuseppina, Rosa, and Rosa and her brothers in-law Calogero and Salvatore and her numerous nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her brothers Sebastiano, Dima, Antonino, Francesco, Gaspare, and sister Vincenza.
Please join us in celebrating her life on Sunday July 24th between 2:00 p.m.and 5:00 p.m and 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. and Monday July 25th between 9:00 a.m.11:45 a.m.at
