She married Matthew Moscato on September 24, 1939; he predeceased her on Aug 3, 1999. They were married 60 years.
After graduating High School, Fannie worked in Manhattan as a secretary for an Insurance Company. She was proud of her command of both Greg and Pittman shorthand.
Fannie became a full time homemaker with the birth of her children. Fannie dedicated her life to her family and friends, always caring for her grandchildren and making sure everyone was well fed.
She is survived by her loving children, Dominick/Rose (predeceased) Moscato and Daniel and his wife Rosemary Moscato, her grandchildren, Dana, Douglas, Andrea Woska and her husband Jim, Matthew, Mark Moscato, Donna and her husband Eric Lahl and Vicki and her husband Brian Crane, great grandchildren, Matthew, Daniel, Ava, Derek, Rosemarie, Johnathan and Jason.

Fannie was also predeceased by her 9 year old brother, Louis and 3 year old sister, Philomena.. and her beautiful, loving sister, Lucy.
Fannie was a blessing to all those who knew her, she was compassionate and consoling to those that needed someone to talk to.
She loved cooking and caring for her family up until her passing, always making extra pasta and meatballs every Sunday to share.
She would greet everyday as a gift from God that should not be wasted by complaining. She viewed each day as an opportunity to do something good for someone else. When questioned about her philosophy of helping others she would say "that's what we are here for".
She was active with the Bardonia and St. Joseph's Senior Clubs holding several leadership positions and was the Clarkstown Senior of the Year in 2008. She loved going to the casinos whether she won or not.
Fannie touched many lives with her love and compassion during her 100 + years and we are all the better for it.

Sometimes you meet a person and you just click. That was the way it was with Fannie and my mom, Nancy Sacco. They would talk on the telephone everyday, go out to lunch quite often, and enjoyed riding the bus to Empire together. They were very comfortable with each other. Towards the end of mom's life (she passed away in March of 2016) Fannie would call her every day. Mom always looked forward to her calls. Fannie was a great soul, and the memories I have of her kindness shall never fade. Hopefully Fannie and mom will meet in a place where there is no darkness or pain.
Rest In Peace, Fannie.
