Passed away peacefully on 18 May 2018. Preceded in death by husband, Eugene, and son Robert. Survived by her children, David (Cindy), Diane (Larry), Mary (Jim), daughter-in-law Kathi, 13 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren and 11 great-great grandchildren. She was the matriarch of our family and extremely proud of her Italian heritage. She was the past president of the American Legion Auxiliary, Unit 36, and until recently was chairman of the American Legion Poppy program for the Department of Arizona. She led an amazing life that left a lasting impression with all she met, evidenced by the fact that she still received surprise visits from those she helped in the early years of their lives. She always told us "you should say something nice to everyone you meet", which drove us crazy. It would take forever to walk out of a store or restaurant as she had to stop and compliment everyone along the way. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, May 26th, 11:00 AM at St Pauls Methodist Church, 8051 E. Broadway. In honor of her love of patriotism and the poppy, please wear red. Arrangements handled by Eastlawn Mortuary.
