They were married on February 2, 1947 in Aliquippa Pennsylvania. Together they raised two children: Annamarie and Louis. A devout Catholic, Florence loved her family above all else, and nothing gave her more pleasure than being surrounded by her loved ones at the holidays and Sunday dinners which she hosted into her nineties. There was always an extra plate at her table... or two. She loved reading, listening to opera, and watching her "stories." Her greatest joys were frequent visits from friends and family who always felt welcome and loved. She will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her. Florence is survived by her loving daughter with whom she lived, Annamarie (Lou) Biega, her devoted son, Louis (Polly) Fontana, beloved grandchildren to whom she was "Nana", Doug (Cary) Biega, Jennifer (Matt) Custer, TJ (Kate) Fontana, Brian (Ashley) Fontana, and her five beautiful great-children, Jack Biega, Luke and Elsie Fontana, and Olivia Florence and Vivian Fontana, and many loving nieces and nephews to whom she was "Aunt Flops." She was preceded in death by husband, Louis Fontana; parents, Joseph and Mary Greco; brothers, Edward (Catherine) Greco, Marshall (Mildred) Greco, Sylvester (Maida) Greco, and Ralph Greco; sister and best friend, Violet (Jerry) Fontana; a special niece, Gilda (Trent) Shaver.
