Frances Contello Obituary

Frances Ann Contello, finished life's race on March 5, 2012. She was preceded in death by her parents Nick and Katie Eppolito, sisters Grace Haberman, Mary M. Eppolito and brother Vince N. Eppolito. She is survived by her devoted husband of 61 years, Ben Contello and their four children, Bernard Contello, Michael A. Contello, Kathleen F. Contello and David A. Contello, four grandchildren, 7 great-grand children and sister Nancy Falco and husband Frank. Frances loved her large Italian family and was always ready and willing to help them, sacrificing her time and energy. Her love for family was surpassed only by her love for her God Jehovah, whom she served faithfully as a dedicated servant since 1958. As a loyal witness of Jehovah she leaves behind even a larger spiritual family of brothers and sisters. A Memorial service will be held Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 3:00pm in the main chapel at Forest Park Lawndale.

I am very sorry to hear of the lost of your dear loved one. Psalms 66:19 says: " Truly God has heard; He has paid attention to the voice of my prayer." God hears our prayers and feels our pain. God can give You the strength needed to endure.
