Clara Mosca Zinno

Clementina “Clara” Mosca Zinno, daughter of Maria Callei and Angelo Mosca, Sr. was born June 6, 1918 and passed away peacefully on April 24th at the home of her daughter, surrounded by her son, daughter and loving family.

Clara was predeceased by her devoted husband, Joseph Zinno with whom she shared her life and love for 70 years. She is survived by her children: Janice Allen of Thousand Oaks, California and Richard Zinno of Fort Worth, Texas, her grandchildren: Jessica Leatherman, Jeremy Zinno, Jennifer Arnett and Marcella Rolwes; and 10 great grandchildren. She was also a loving grandmother to Kimberley Callei Allen deceased. Clara was the eldest sister to four siblings, all deceased: Domenic, Palma, and Angelo Jr., Mosca; and Giovanna Mosca Cafasso.

Clara and Joe’s life together was an adventure that took them from coast to coast and around the world. They made a home in four states, Florida, Rhode Island, California and Texas, and created lasting friendships wherever they traveled. Their marriage was filled with change, new horizons, and boundless joy.

Clara, our mother, greatest cheerleader and shoulder to lean on was an in dominatable force. She encouraged us to do our best, was never happy with mediocrity, and was ever so proud of our achievements. She could fight like a tiger if one of her children or grandchildren was hurt, all the while maintaining her serene demeanor.

Clara’s family and extended family filled her life, and brought her great joy. Wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend, a “lady” always, Clara will be remembered for her beauty, grace, and quiet strength.
