Affectionately known as Meme, she was the center of our family, a true southern, classy lady. There was no one more loving and devoted to her family. Our fun loving, Italian Pasta Mama had the best sayings, the most spunk, and lived everyday with her loving husband to the fullest. Her dedication to family values has been instilled in each and everyone of us. Our family get togethers made her beam with pride and happiness, a tradition we will forever carry on. There will be a private serviced held at a later date.
