Michele Ann Trupia

She was a loving wife, mother, sister, and friend, known for her warm spirit and unwavering support to those around her. She was very fond of animals, having four dogs during her life named Cinnamon, Pebbles, Cocoa, Peanut, and her son’s dogs Lady and Patchouli. She enjoyed taking vacations with the family to places like Colorado and Texas and visiting her family back home in New York. Her favorite music was the band Journey and of course the enthralling Tom Jones. Michele spent many years of her life serving as a valued employee of the IRS. She was most dedicated to being a mother.

She is survived by her devoted and loving husband of 36 years, Salvatore J. Trupia; her beloved children, Kimberly D. Trupia and Anthony J. Trupia; her cherished siblings, Cecil Rybarczyk and Charles Hussnatter, and many nieces, great-nieces, and nephews. Michele's love and legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
