Devoted wife of the late Vittorio. Proud mother of Giovanna, Vincenzo (Teresa), Gaspare (Gina), and Antonio (Laura).

Cherished Grandmother of Jessica (Joseph), Christina (Michael), Vanessa (Matthew), Laura (Gabriel), Melissa, Alessandra (Jonathon), Michael (Lindsey), Victoria, Johnathon, Stephen, Anthony, and Diana.

Loving Great-Grandmother of Vincenzo, Adriana, Ariana, Selena, Teresa, Juliana, Lucas, Alesio, and Luke.

She will be sadly missed by her many extended family members and friends. Vittoria has now been reunited with the love of her life, Vittorio.

Born in the small mountain village of Vallelonga, Calabria, Italy, to her late parents Gaspare and Teresa Galati, Vittoria brought the rich traditions and warmth of her homeland with her. She truly enjoyed the simple things in life. She found her greatest joy in spending time with her family, hosting large gatherings filled with laughter, and passing down her cherished family recipes. Vittoria was a passionate gardener, spending hours tending to her vibrant flower beds and her bountiful vegetable garden, which she shared generously with everyone she loved.

“Forever loved, always remembered.”
