She attended college and law school at night while working full time during the day. She gave birth to four beautiful girls she called her little angels. Her greatest joy in life was being a full time and involved mother. In 2003 when the hard times befell the family she selflessly put her passion for her daughters on hold and returned to work. Unfortunately times never did return to normal and she continued to work forgoing the valuable mother daughter events that many of us take for granted. She continued to work these final years through five cancer operations and rounds of chemo and radiation too numerous to count. She worked up until the day before she had to be rushed to the hospital for the final time. She fought long, constantly and hard for so long enduring unspeakable pain in the process. To our children, she was a wonderful, incredible example of what a person should be. She died comfortably and quietly surrounded by many family members with her girls holding her hands on her way to heaven.

She was always so sweet and generous to everyone. No one expected her to pass away but she fought as hard as she can to stay alive for my sisters and I and now she no longer has to struggle because she is now in heaven with God. My mom was a person who I could tell everything to and she had great advice. I will miss talking to her every night and texting her during the day. She is loved by many people who are sad to see her go, me being one of them. She was a fun person and had a good sense of humor. Everyone who met her loved her.

She filled a special role for many people. A loving, cheerful person. A true member of the "Greatest Generation", who faced wars and the depression, conquering every hurdle without a complaint. She loved her God, Country, family, and neighbors. She was a life long communicant of Blessed Sacrament, and worked at the Rex during World War II to do her part in the war effort. Carmella attended new Rochelle Public Schools; Jefferson (both the old school and the new school), Isaac E. Young, which she adored and had fond memories about all her life, and New Rochelle High School. She married Michael, her beloved husband of 61 years and they had a wonderful life, raising their three children, Michael, Patricia, and Christine, with the same ups and downs of all her friends and neighbors. She doted on her grandchildren. It was clear the love that she had for us. Every visit, birthday, and holiday, she was there spending quality time with us. She would take us on long walk outside and would babysit us often...times that were often filled with unanticipated adventures! She never had the chance to meet her one great grandchild, but it's certain she will guide him from Heaven. What made Carmella the person she was was her love and care for everyone she came in contact with. She loved her friends and neighbors from Russell and Villus Ave., the PSA where she grew up, and you better say that the "PSA" stood for "Patriotic Sons of America", and then later those from Allard Avenue. She was protective of all. Despite the difficulties of growing up in the times she did, she and all her friends had great fun and truly loved and enjoyed themselves making due with the simplest of pleasures. Her friends were "life-long" - she knew no other way. Once a friend, always a friend. The clearest example of this was her friendhip with her sister Antionette "Due", which was as close as any twins could be and lasted 88 years. She also had many other long time friendships and had another 88 year long friendship with her dear friend, Gloria. Her friends Jay and Ann continued to vist her and take pizza to her during her last years. She also had a special relationship with "Brady" who loved her meatballs and celebrated many of his birthdays with her. What made Carmella truly remarkable was that she showed the same love to people she just met, often caring for other families' children, and giving them treats. She celebrated all her friends and neighbors successes and commiserated with them in their defeats. Her children and all of the children of Allard Avenue and the PSA benefitted by her loving care. The children didn't have one mother but had a mother in every house. What a blessing for these children! Carmella's true legacy is that she "always put others first and gave unconditional love." These traits endeared her to all she came in contact with, even in her last years when she had many health problems. Even when she could no longer talk, she drew people to her, who looked upon her with special interest, including many at Willow Towers and Bayberry Care Center - Beatrice, her deeply committed aide, Beatrice her roommate, and Gladys, her special angel who kept her alive and gave up vacations to care for her, and also Linda, Janet, and Willie. Her love was truly inspirational and fulfilled the mission of Jesus, to be holy , as he was holy, and to strive to be a saint. Grandma, as I told you when I was little, I promise to always to fix what I break. Thank you for such wonderful memories. We are all better people for having known you. I wish you could be there on my wedding day, but I know you and Grandpa will be watching from above. We all love you, and it was an honor to know you. So...for Carmella, do not be sad, but rather smile, and help someone else as often as you can.
