Obituary of Teresina De Leo

Passed away on September 23, 2018, surrounded by loving family.

Survived by her four children, Rosaria Zefferino (Benito), Antonio De Leo (Palmina), Graziella Giorgio (Santo), and Josephina Facciuolo (Giuseppe). Also survived by two sisters, eleven Grandchildren and eighteen Great-Grandchildren.

Predeceased by her loving husband Nicola De Leo (1978) and her sister.

Teresina, who lovingly embraced her role as, “Nonna”, showered her family with her traditional cooking, spoiling everyone with homemade gnocchi, and an abundance of espresso. Her countless stories and life lessons, will be cherished by all of her family, but especially her “nipoti”. She will be forever loved, and missed.
