Besides her husband Victor, she was predeceased by brothers, John and Anthony Zanolli, and sisters, Isolina Castellani, Nancy Frey, Dahlia Calcagni, and Jenny Rose. Her family would like to thank Linda Pocalyko, Lorraine Giardino, and Sharon Widman as well as McLean Home Health Care for all their care and compassion.
