Nina Raffeo Obituary
For most of her 75 years of life Nina lived in group homes for people with special needs where strangers became part of her family. For the past 15 years, she lived in a Helping Hands home. While there she received the love, compassion and support she needed to live her best life during her senior years. She attended the Helping Hands Day Program Center, and she loved reading, talking on the phone, watching her favorite TV shows, going out to dinner, shopping, and spending time with her family.
Nina's life brought joy and love to those who knew her and cared for her. She will be truly missed by many. Nina is survived by her stepsisters Lorraine Lamb (Jack) and Maryann Vitelli (Charles).
Nina was preceded in death by her brother Gus Raffeo and her stepsister Joanne Robbins.
Friends and family are invited to Nina's viewing on Thursday, January 12, 2023, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. followed by a prayer service at 10:30 at the Raffeo-DiCecco Funeral Home 19 East Germantown Pike, Norristown, PA 19401. Interment will follow at St. Patrick's Cemetery 2300 DeKalb Pike, Norristown, PA 19401.

May you rest in peace my beautiful. You were the joy of my life working with you. You will always remain in my heart. You always said to me, cold hands, warm heart. We certainly had lots of laughs. God love you. Jan Batten
