Giuseppa Lepore Obituary
Giuseppa was born in Montefusco, Italy, on June 22, 1936. She immigrated to the United States in 1962, and along with her husband Carmine, raised a beautiful family and lived the American dream. Giuseppa was admired for her devotion to others, tireless work ethic, and fantastic Italian cooking. Her dishes were legendary and served as the focal point of holiday gatherings and special occasions. "Nonna" was a true matriarch - a role model to her family for strength, commitment, and sacrifice. Her kitchen was always open, and she took great pride and satisfaction making sure that her family was well nourished and cared for. She was preceded in death by her husband Carmine, and is survived by her son Ralph, daughters Maria, Tina, and Patricia, her nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
In honor of her life, and in lieu of flowers, the family asks you make a donation to the Alzheimer's Association at: https://events.alz.org/fundraisers/beckylepore/in-memory-of-giuseppa-lepore
A memorial service will be held at Saint Stephen's Cemetery and Chapel of Short Hills, 451 Millburn Avenue, Millburn, NJ at 11 am on Thursday August 28th, 2025.
