Lillian Bottali Obituary

Lillian Bottali 1919 - 2010 Lillian passed peacefully at home on November 6th, surrounded by her adoring family. In 1940, she married her love, John Bottali, and they shared a wonderful life, rich with family, until his passing in 1999. She was loving mother to Barbara Guerrero (Jim) and John Bottali (Sherrie); wonderful grandmother to Lisa Alaimo (Chuck), Carla Nannizzi, Julie Franceschi (Gregg) and Jessica and Mellisa Bottali, and was thrilled to be "GG" to Mia and Megan Franceschi. She will also be deeply missed by her devoted sister, Ada Caramatti (Bruno, deceased); loving nieces, Pat Haran (Tom) and Jean Caramatti; grand nieces Amy Haran and Gina Haran and great grand niece Nicole Klein. Lillian was truly loved and will be fondly remembered by all who knew her. Family and friends are invited to a celebration of Lillian's life on Sunday, December 5th. RSVP to Barbara by November 27th. Donations to Pathways Hospice are appreciated: 395 Oyster Pt #128, SSF 94080.
