Filomena was born in Mammola Italy in 1915, the oldest of six children. She was always ready to help her siblings and her parents. Her family emigrated to America in 1934. They initially lived in Brooklyn NY but later moved to East Boston. In 1937, Filomena married Filippo Pisano. The couple lived in East Boston for several years but later purchased a home in Revere where they lived for the rest of their married life. For many years, Filomena and Filippo enjoyed spending winters in Hollywood Florida. They loved the beach, loved opera and loved each other. Filippo passed away after a happy marriage of 42 years. Filomena was a vibrant strong woman. Her greatest passion was centered around her love for her family. She enjoyed cooking and was famous for her “Auntie Phyllis” cookies which were always on hand for her nieces and nephews and their families. She also enjoyed crocheting blankets for her family and friends.
