Antionette (nee Dravello) Cerza, age 92 of Wayne, died Monday, December 1, 2008 at the Berwick Hospital Center, Berwick, PA with the comfort of her daughter by her side.
She was born in Paterson and lived in Clifton before moving to Wayne fifty four years ago.
Nette was a parishioner of Our Lady of Consolation RC Church, Wayne.
She was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother who loved cooking for her family. She was known for her great meatballs and loved baking pies for all to enjoy. She considered herself very fortunate to have met the love of her life, Angelo Cerza, who was a neighborhood friend. Ang would forget his pipe at her home as an excuse to go back and see her again. They married on April 14, 1940 and had a loving, devoted and nurturing marriage of sixty-two years before his passing on January 11, 2004. Her dedication to Ang extended beyond his passing as she would not sell the house he had built with bricks and lumber that was held together with the mortar and nails of love.
Nette also enjoyed her retirement years with Ang wintering in Vero Beach, Florida where they had a wonderful group of friends. They were blessed with twenty years of active retirement from 1975 through 1995 here. Ang would golf and Nettie would socialize, enjoyed many different types of crafting, and most of all enjoyed ceramics.
She was the beloved wife of the late Angelo “Ang” Cerza(2004); loving mother of Robert Cerza and his wife Sara of Shore View, Minnesota and Jean Fantry and her husband George of Berwick, PA; cherished grandmother of six grandchildren Debbie Granato and her husband Steve, Shawn Fantry and his wife Christine, Michelle Eddinger and her husband Barry, Andrew Popp, Regan and Bobby Cerza; devoted great-grandmother of Hailie, Jonas, Ryan and Jared Fantry, Mason and Mikayla Eddinger and Nicholas Granato; much loved sister of the late Theresa, Jennie, Louise, and Danny.
