Ida Esposito Obituary
Ida Esposito, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully in her sleep on February 5, 2025, at the age of 87 in Hauppauge, New York. She was a beacon of warmth, strength, and unwavering love to her family and all who knew her. Ida was the cherished matriarch of her family, leaving behind her daughters, Nicoletta and Antonietta, her grandchildren, Anthony, Nicole, Michael, and Jessica, as well as her great-grandchildren, Oliver, James, Amelia Ida, and Gianni Pasquale.
Born on May 3, 1937, in Siano, Italy, Ida immigrated to the U.S. in her teens, carrying with her dreams of a better life for her family. She married Pasquale Esposito, and together they built a loving home in New York, raising their two daughters. Ida's resilience and devotion were evident in everything she did, from her hard work as a seamstress and housekeeper to her love and care for her family.
Though life brought its challenges, including the loss of her husband, Pasquale, in 1995, Ida remained steadfast and dedicated to her family, especially enjoying the role of grandmother. Her love for her children and grandchildren was immeasurable, and she nurtured them with love, laughter, and her cherished traditions.
