Her warmth, strength, kindness, and generosity touched the lives of so many, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Our deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all 🙏
My dear Zia.
It is often said that we best remember others by the way they made us feel.
My dear zia always made me feel welcomed, at ease and comfortable in her presence. She had a peace about her that I will never forget.
Her mannerisms, soft spoken demeanor and caring way she had about her often reminded me of my mom. I saw my mom in her eyes, and for those moments I will be forever grateful. Thank you Zia, and may you rest in peace.
Our sincere condolences to the Monteleone family.
Love
Graziano Bruno & Family.
Agostino (Gus) Monteleone and family.
My deepest heartfelt condolences on the passing of Antonia Monteleone. Her amazing personality lives on through each and every one of you.

May the passing of time heal your sorrows.
My beautiful Zia Tota.
I’ll be forever grateful for all the times we spent together. Many of my childhood memories include countless sleepover at your house, dancing with you and the girls to the tunes of Eros and the best mozzarella toasted sandwiches you made for us. As we grew the nights you stayed up waiting for us with coffee and cookies to hear about our night at the clubs will forever stay with me. You were an amazing zia one I will love forever. You will always remain in our hearts. It’s not goodbye, it’s until we meet again. Rest In Peace

With love, Lisa, Scott, Jackson, Hadley and Jonas Tipping
