Visit the Harry McKneely & Son Funeral Homes & Crematory - Hammond website to view the full obituary.
Pietrina DiVittorio Graffia, of Ponchatoula, LA, passed away Saturday, February 19, 2022, at North Oaks Hospital in Hammond, LA. She was 85 years old. Pietrina was the only daughter, and last legacy of Frank and Catherine Schillaci DiVittorio of Independence, LA, immigrants from Sicily, Italy. Pietrina, affectionately known as Aunt B to some, or Pat to others, was a loving wife to her husband of 51 years Tony Graffia. They enjoyed everyday life activities and were always together. She is also survived by brother-in-law, Salvatore Graffia & wife Janie, sisters-in-law, Olivia DiVittorio and Norma Jean DiVittorio. Although Pietrina had no children of her own, her greatest pleasures were most likely at family gatherings with her nieces and nephews and their children. Surviving nephews and nieces include Jason, Sammy, and Ryan Graffia; Frank (Donna) DiVittorio, Jeanne (Shaan) Rube, Caroline (Rick) Priest, Dr. Roy (Kim) DiVittorio; Lisa (Mark) Camelo; Frank DiVittorio, Sammy (Marcie) DiVittorio. Pietrina was a devout Catholic and no doubt will be welcomed by the Lord to her new home in heaven where she will be joined by her parents; brothers, Roy J., Dan J., and Tony J. DiVittorio; niece, Denise; and nephew Danny DiVittorio. There will be a graveside service at 10:00 AM, Wednesday, February 23, 2022, at Colonial Mausoleum, Independence , LA.

Lisa and Mark, So sorry for your loss of Mrs. Graffia. I only know her from seeing her at Holy Ghost Church when my Mom and I were going to the 4:00 Mass before Covid. She and her husband were always there when we got there and she would come over to our pew and bring us a church bulletin and visit for a few minutes. It warmed my heart to see how close she and her husband was to each other. No doubt he will be lost without her. My Mom is now in Heritage Healthcare Center and not doing well. She is 90 years old. Please keep her in your prayers.
