In 1947 she came over to the United States where she later became a U.S. citizen. She worked for St. Peters Elementary as a secretary for many years. She was a fierce and honest woman loved by many.
She married Anthony Sgambellone and together they raised four children. John (Rhonda) Sgambellone, Gary (Carol) Sgambellone, James (Linda) Sgambellone and Nancy Sgambellone. Her family blossomed into having 13 Grandchildren, 32 Great Grandchildren and 2 Great-Great Grandchildren. She loved to give out candy to all the Grandchildren and became known as Grandma “Tootsie Pop” or Grandma “L” because the little ones could not pronounce her name.

She is preceded in death by her husband Anthony, parents Jean Pierre and Marie Antoinette, Sisters Monique and Elisabeth, Sons Gary and James and Grandchild Shannon.
