elevated gbqkY Obituary
Micaela Borrelli, mother to Patricia Torres, mother-in-law to Pellegrino Castaldo and grandmother to Mathias, Camilla and Tomas Castaldo. Our cherished mother and grandmother passed, peacefully, away on December 10, 2025, at the age of 99 years old, and is now with her beloved husband Amilcar Torres.

She had a passion for knitting, sewing, and gardening. Always ready to cook a meal for her grandchildren. Always ready to put a smile on everyone’s face. She was a force of nature, fierce and nurturing.
