Maria Loretta LaPietra of Naples, Italy passed away on October 2, 2023 surrounded by her loving family.
Loretta migrated to the United States after marrying the love of her life, Angelo. Together they settled in the Bronx, NY with hopes of starting a family. They went on to have two children, Luigi and Marianna. Loretta loved her family more than anything, especially her grandchildren, Victoria, Andrew, Marc and Michael. Loretta worked in a dental office for a number of years, making a career and life for herself. Although extremely proud to have become an American citizen, she never lost touch with her Italian heritage, maintaining the love to host, cook, and enjoy a glass of wine. She was someone who lit up the room with her smile and laugh, the type whose presence was warming. She will always to be remembered as the best mother, wife, and especially, Nonna.
Funeral Mass, Friday, October 6, 2023 at 11 AM at St. Mary's Church, 20 Legion Place, Closter, NJ. Entombment to follow at Madonna Mausoleum, Fort Lee. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to be announced.
