Mena relished family. She never forgot a birthday, anniversary, or achievement of any of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Mena and her beloved Lou, bonded in faith, were best friends, dance partners, and wonderful parents, who taught the importance of family and to always do the right thing. She loved to cook for family and have everyone around the table. Mena’s favorite past times included travelling, reading, bingo, and outings with her sisters and nieces listening to Italian music. She can never be replaced and we will miss her dearly.
