Carolina "Lina" Veglia, aged 102, lived in San Jose's Willow Glen area for 58 years. She was born in San Jose on October 27, 1919. When she was two, the family moved to Turin, Italy where she attended school. In 1952 she returned to the U.S., first to Reno and then to San Jose. Soon after, she met and married Armando Veglia. They were together for 30 years and traveled to Italy and back many times. Together they enjoyed beautiful friendships and relatives within both countries.
Surviving are two loving nephews Enrico and Paolo Sarboraria and their families and her sister-in-law Rosanna Ortu all from Turin, Italy; locally in San Jose, cousin Josephine Baroni and family as well as predeceased cousin John Sarboraria's family of Livermore.
Lina was a real lady in every respect. She was a very kind, loving, and genteel woman who always cared for others before herself. She made many friends within the neighborhood and her church. She will be remembered and missed by many.
