Beloved wife of Sisto Arduini (predeceased), A loving mother to her five children Salvatore (Maria), Rosanna (Joe Renda), Angela (Joe Leone), Ernesto (Mary) and Michael (Rosalind). A proud and devoted Nonna to Diana (Sergio Roccini), Sandra, Adriano (Deanna), Melissa, Robert, Rachel (Franco), Rosemary (Daniel), Domenic, Matthew, Lauren, and Emilina. Proud great-grandmother to Anthony, Simona, Gianluca, Giuliana, Kate, Giada, Luke, and Allie. She was a sister to 6, aunt, godmother, and adored friend to many.
