Mrs. Fucella, a dear friend to my family, was always happy, bubbly and fun. She had the best laugh! She was always helping others and welcoming them into her home. Her daughter Lita and I would sneak into the attic at Christmas and eat lots of her delicious homemade cookies. Mrs. Fucella was not happy when she would open the cookie tins and there were almost no cookies!! She made my wedding gown because she was so kind and knew I couldn't afford a fancy dress. It was beautiful = white velvet and lace. She even made a velvet muff which I carried when I walked down the aisle. What a special lady to do that for me. She was a creative, talented woman with a very big heart! Jesus probably has her sewing in heaven!Jean Campagna Wilkes

Remembering all the laughter and loud story telling at my folks 50th Anniversary party and also the silliness of arranging their gifts on the mantle at the Schwind house. Aunt Lita was always so full of life and joy! We will miss her. Love, Janet (Schwind) Dobie

Every summer, my mom would gather us and the neighborhood kids and organize talent shows, puppet shows, carnivals, weddings. She not only made the summers fun for us, she also helped others by making sure that all the proceeds were donated to charity. She was such an excellent example of living out her faith. She was the most amazing mom ever!Janet Oliver- her "bubbly" daughterLove you mom❤️

My favorite memory of "Grandma Lita" as she was known to Tim and Greg was learning to make her lasagna from scratch . The fresh pasta meatballs sauce the amount of work that went into doing it was so wortth the time as it was by far the best I ever had. Lita worked for us for a while at the pizzeria. In the beginning most of the teenagers didn't like working with her because she always expected nothing less then their best. But because she treated them with respect they grew to enjoy working with her Whenever Grandma Lita was up in Jersey for an extended visit she would find time to stop by to say hello and enjoy some pizza that always made me feel special.I know heaven is a much better place with Grandma Lita in it. My deepest condolence to all the "Fucellas"Claude Giliberti p

My favorite memory of Aunt Lita is when she came to visit us in Reno. It was Halloween and she made my grandma (her sister Flora) go out and purchase costumes. Grandma was a little resistant but Aunt Lita's effervescent personality won. We went trick or treating that night all together. Aunt Lita got more candy than any of us including my little brother. She also threatened to come back and soap a ladies windows that was locking her gate against trick or treaters. She made my grandma be more carefree in that moment than she had been the entire time I'd known her. I wish I could've visited her more often. Sending love to all of you who love her. Love not loved because she will always be with you.

On snow covered days in NJ , when most kids were out building snowmen in their yards, there was one house that was doing just a little bit more. At 234 Wayne Ave , my Mother, her three or four children at the time, and any stray children in the neighborhood were busy building an entire livingroom out of snow! Couch, two chairs, table, and a three snowman- woman family!!! We would then proceed to sit, play for hours, and even eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on our snow furniture. After, of course, being frozen to the bone, we would all go inside for some delicious homemade hot chocolate with marshmallows and cookies. Imagination, ingenuity, and involvement were the secret ingredients to my Mom's success as the most amazing Mother in the world !!

I will always remember summers with Aunt Lita. I remember her laugh and how loved I felt when I was with her. I will miss her very much. Love to the Fucellas.

My Aunt Lita was crazy but in a good way. She always had a smile on her face and a laugh that was contagious . And even when we do something stupid as kids ( my cousin Ray and I getting drunk.. we were 12..). she couldn't stay mad at us for a very long. She had a big heart and was always ready to help those in need. I look forward to being with her again and reliving some of the stories about when she would spy on her older sisters and tattle on them to their fatherâ?¦ Rest in peaceâ?¦ You deserve it
