Dippest condolences to the family carmela was a wonderful ladie she will be missed
So very sorry to learn of this lovely lady's passing. She was petite in stature but a force to be reckoned with. I recall back in 1976 when Carmela was interested in buying a set of pots and pans for her soon-to-be-married daughter, Josephine, and had a salesman come to the house. For some reason I was there, though I had no imminent prospects to be married. To make a long story short, Carmela purchased 3 sets of the pots and pans, one for each of her daughters, and I ended up buying a set too, never being one to pass up a good deal. The pots and pans came with a set of dishes. The salesman "threw in" 3 complimentary tea pots for Carmela's large purchase. Carmela looked at him, smiled sweetly, and asked, "What about HER tea pot?", indicating me. The salesman said that wasn't part of my purchase. Carmela smiled at him again and said, "If she doesn't get a tea pot, I'm not buying anything." No need to wonder who won that fight. Rest in peace, Mrs. Manganaro.

I only met Nonna a few times but each time I came away thinking what a sweet lady she is. Anyone who didn't get the chance to meet her can tell how beautiful and kind she was by all the children and grandchildren she has and how they exemplify all of her wonderful attributes. We will be thinking and praying for all of you in the days ahead. xo
