Ada N. Magno

Ada Magno passed away peacefully in her sleep a few weeks shy of her 95th birthday. She is survived by her children Diana and Stephen, his wife Ann, her two grandchildren, Vincent and Laura, Laura’s wife Eva, her sole surviving sibling, Armando, and her very extensive extended family. She was surrounded by family and friends who continued to support her after the love of her life, her husband Vincent, passed away 45 years ago after 30 years of marriage. She was affectionately known as "G'ma" by her grandchildren and "Mamma Magno" by close friends.

Ada was a gifted seamstress and worked in that field until starting her family. Later on she had a new career in banking holding various positions at the Greater New York Savings Bank where she made life-long friends. Ada enjoyed travel, reading and knitting. She was one of the "youngsters" of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church knitting group that donated baby blankets to mothers in need. She was famous for her homemade gnocchi and potato croquettes and particularly her homemade ravioli in which she enlisted her family’s help preparing every Christmas.
