. She couldn't read or write Italian or English. She had to be taught how to write and spell her name when she took her citizenship test. She came to America with nothing, managed to open and run a Junk Yard with her husband Carmine that supported her family. And she fed many others during the depression that were broke. Very proud of my strong, generous Grandma! as long as I am alive you will never be forgotten
