Domenica lived the majority of her life in Audubon, Pennsylvania. She was a member of Saint Eleanor Church. Domenica was devoted to her family. She was a loving Mother and Grandmother who always thought about the people she cared for. She always had an inviting smile that made everyone feel welcomed. She always provided a special love to her family and even the pets in her life. Domenica was a very selfless person and always put others before herself. She enjoyed sunny weather, nature, and being outdoors for most of her days. She loved gardening and being in the backyard. She enjoyed cooking, especially pasta on Sundays. She was an excellent cook who would use her own special ingredients that her family enjoyed.  She also loved hobbies such as knitting sweaters, blankets and scarves to keep her loved ones warm in the winter. Her vibrant spirit and her unconditional love was not only seen but felt by those that came to know Nonna and has left a forever memory sketched in our minds.
