She was one of nine siblings born shortly before the Great Depression and only sixteen years before the start of WWII. Needless to say, her childhood and formative years were not easy. Despite this beginning, she was able to thrive in this culture by one of her primary characteristics of hard work. She herself worked at a "Man's" manual job with Lever Brothers factory in Edgewater, N.J. for 25 years. During bad snow storms she would walk "the hill" from Cliffside Park down to Edgewater. She married a WWII Veteran, Patrick Moccia in 1947 and went on to save money to build their own house, send her two successful children to private high school, Professional Nursing School and onto College. She also had, and partially financially supported nine grandchildren, each one very successful and special in their own ways. Beloved wife to the late Patrick (2007). Devoted mother to Carmela Brunelli and her husband John and Carl Moccia and his wife Therese. Dear sister to Louise Stack and Frances Alfano.
