She was proud of the fact that she taught herself to read English after moving to the United States. She loved reading, dancing, playing cards, and cooking wonderful Italian dishes. She also was the co-owner/bookkeeper, with her husband Virgilio, of the family business for many years. She was an active member of the local Italian club.
