Becky Mezistrano Obituary
Becky MEZISTRANO After 75 wonderful years of life, Becky Mezistrano passed away at home quietly in her sleep.

Aunty Becky will be so missed by everyone. She was an extremely special woman. I have so many great memories from when I was little and we spent our holidays and summer days at their house. She always welcomed everyone.
I also remember all her hard work baking and cooking for the holidays. I looked forward to the Jewish holidays every year. I loved her very much and will continue to think about her all the time.
