Carmela, 98, of Bayside, Queens passed away on April 23, 2024 peacefully in her sleep in the presence of her family. She was born to Alesandro & Enrica Testa in Castleforte, Italy on August 27, 1925 and was one of four siblings, Giuseppe, Olindo, and Benedetta Testa. ‘Nonna’ Carmela was a loving wife to her late husband Gino DiSiena, and a devoted mother to her sons, Modestino, and Dominic. Nonna Carmela was also a caring grandmother, great-grandmother and Zia. She took great pride in caring for her family whether that be by cooking a delicious meal, tending to their needs, or knitting a blanket for a loved one. Everything she did, she did in service to her family and to God. She wasn’t satisfied with resting until she made sure everyone else in the home was taken care of. Some of her favorite activities included being in the company of loved ones, watching Italian soap operas, making sauce, gardening, or having a chat with family and friends over a sip of espresso and pastries. Even in her later days, with her health deteriorating, she strived to make sure her family were well fed and taken care of. Nonna Carmela was loved and respected by all who knew her. She is survived by her son, Modestino, her grandchildren, Juliette, Matthew, Christina, & Serge, great grandchildren, Carmella & Jonathan. She joins her husband Gino, son Dominic, and brother Olindo, in the loving presence of God in heaven.
