In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Rudolph Cavicchio (Rose), Eldo Cavicchio (Lawanna), and Ernie Cavicchio (Norma) and sisters, Yola Leone (John), and Orienta Iesue (Joseph).

She is survived by many nephews, nieces and great nieces and nephews. A special thank you to all her friends who came to visit with her.
