Nancy immigrated to the United States in 1949 with her eldest daughter, Pasqualina (Pat) where she joined her husband Cuono who immigrated here a year earlier. Together, they raised a family; first in Little Italy on Chicago’s near west side and later the Southwest Side. While most known for her impeccable seamstress abilities, designing and sewing beautiful women’s outfits, from wedding dresses to casual wear, Nancy also worked as a line worker at several companies, until retiring from Nabisco. Nancy was meticulous in all her work, with a passion for pursuing perfection. In addition to working full-time and making what seemed an endless stream of seamstress projects, she was an ardent and wonderful cook and impeccable housekeeper. You could not find a cleaner and more organized house than the Panico household! Nancy was a very proud and hard-working mom, with a strong devotion to the Our Blessed Mother - Our Lady of Pompeii, her husband, and children. She lived her life fully and passionately and will be deeply missed by her children and others who will be forever influenced by her “no excuses” approach to life.
