Also preceded in death by her parents Eugenio Sassi and Candia Bolsito. She was born in Gizzeria, Catanzaro, Italy and then moved in 1958 to Pittsburgh to raise her family. They lived in Mt. Oliver then settled in Brentwood. She will always be remembered for her strong family values and her Italian traditions. Her entire life was dedicated to cooking for her family every Sunday. She also found great joy in gardenig, cooking and canning. Her huge heart, beautiful smile, and kindness became the cornerstone of her personality, always giving to others before herself.

    To the Sauro Family I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of your mom, sitting outside of the house in her chair, every sunny day, regardless of the temperature. She was a wonderful lady... Regards Regina Gemperle Vercilla

    Teresina, You will be missed by many, but reunited with many. You always treated me as if I was one of yours, you made me laugh when I thought I was losing it all, you comforted me when you shouldn't have, you had an undeniable love that I don't think I will ever see again in my life time on this earth. As Nino mentioned above you were my second Mother as well at a very special time in my life. "Riposi in pace" for you have made all of us feel very special all the while you walked with us, danced with us, sang with us, and loved us unconditionally. I will miss you for awhile, but only for awhile, for most us know we will meet again Teresina. May God comfort your familigia in this troubling time. Love too all of you Dana Moore
