elevated tnyaM Sister-in-law to the late Fred Campitelli (Margaret), the late Mary Ardellini (Claudio), Bruno Campitelli (Diane), Vira Persichilli (George).

elevated tnyaM Lena expressed her love through her passion for cooking.  Famous for her Christmas Soup and her Roast Beef, we will never forget the many family dinners we all enjoyed together.  She was never happier than when all her family were together around the table. 

elevated tnyaM She was devoted to her family, including her extended family, and loved to impart her wisdom and her life lessons on anyone who would listen.  She was generous with her care and concern and always lent a helping hand to those who needed her.

elevated tnyaM Her world was complete when her great granddaughter was born and during her last days, video chats with Carmen were the highlight of her day.

elevated tnyaM Her many friends will remember her for her kindness, her hospitality, her generosity, and her devotion. 

elevated tnyaM And in a nod to her vices, a day at the casino was like a ray of sunshine, unless of course, she didn’t win!  Second only to her love of her racehorses, she loved sneaking off with her partner in crime, Flora, to play just for a couple of hours…….

elevated tnyaM She had a special place in her heart for her nieces, Lori and Rita, who never let a week go by without checking in on her.  Her love for you was boundless.

elevated tnyaM Thanks to her caregivers, Flora and Sita, for their devotion and comfort during her many difficult days.
