Tina spent most of her life as a Danbury resident, except for a few years when she lived in Calabria, Italy as a young child.

Tina attended St. Peter School in Danbury, CT through the 8th grade. She, like many children of that time, went on to work in one of Danbury‘s hat factories until she was married in 1951. Tina was an active parishioner of St. Peter Church and devoted much of her adult life to caring for her mother and husband.

Tina leaves a legacy of love and joy that will live on through her many dear friends and loved ones.

The family would like to thank Rev. Gregg Mecca, Pastor of St. Peter Church; the nurses, caregivers and social workers from Masonicare Home Health and Hospice; and Petra Bredbenner from We Care For You Senior Services for the care and compassion they showed Tina in her final weeks.
