Obituary

Teresa Erminia Stancato (née Garritano) loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother of Palisades Park, NJ. was peacefully called home to God on Saturday July 16th, 2022.
Teresa was 105 years old and grew up in Longobardi, Cosenza, Italy before moving to the United States in November 1965.
She is predeceased by her cherished parents Matteo and Anna Garritano, her brother Clemente Garritano, her daughter Rita Garritano and husband Pasquale, her daughter Maria Garritano and husband Paolo.
Devoted mother to sons Gerardo (Jerry) Stancato, Pasquale Stancato and wife Rita, Francesco Stancato and wife Maria. Adored Nonna to 10 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.
Teresa was a very religious and devout person. She believed and practiced the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and reflected her beliefs onto her family. Her rosary beads were always with her and she never missed a day of prayer. Her strength, determination, warm heart and loyalty truly describe the love she had for God and for her family. She is a true legend in many ways and forever our inspiration.
We were truly blessed to have her in our lives, to learn from her knowledge and grow from her love.
Teresa will be forever missed by all who knew her. She will continue to live in our hearts, our words and our actions. Rest in Eternal Peace, our Angel.
