It’s with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our mother, Theresa M. Ciolino, nee Cataldo. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family. She was the beloved wife of the late Paul F.; loving mother of Madonna (Joe) Lerro, Diana Ciolino, Paulette (Tony) Benigno and the late Charles Ciolino; cherished grandmother of Valerie (Ryan) Fabiszak, Joey Lerro, Elizabeth (Cody) Case and Anthony Benigno and great grandmother of Cooper, Hailey, Logan and Aubrey; devoted daughter of the late Frank and Mary Cataldo; dear sister of the late Antoinette Cataldo and the late Donna Grillo; treasured sister in law, aunt and friend of many.

Our mother was one of a kind, she lived and breathed for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was not just our mother; she was our friend! Our mother’s love for her family, and the trust that she had in God was truly remarkable and we are all going to miss her terribly. Though you are no longer with us, your love, your spirit, your legacy, lives on in each one of us. As we move forward, we promise to live our lives in a way that would make you proud. To love as fiercely as you loved us and always be grateful for the precious gift of life and to always have faith in God. We love you Mom, always and forever! Please watch over all of us…until we meet again.
