Giuseppa Sabia, age 88 died peacefully on Friday, November 4, 2016. She was born in Serino, Italy and immigrated to the United States in 1963 settling in Paterson where she remained until moving to Wayne in 1991.
Giuseppa was born in Serino, Italy. She grew up and went to school with a handsome boy named Ciriaco Sabia. They married on August 13, 1950 in their hometown of Serino. Following marriage her husband Ciriaco moved to Venezuela and worked there for three years so he could save money to buy land in Italy. One can only imagine the joy of having him return home after those three years. Surely there was much celebration and soon Ciriaco and Giuseppa were blessed with a son they named Carmine and soon after his birth they were blessed with a daughter they named Laura. In 1963 they moved their family to the United States, settling in Paterson, New Jersey, to join Ciriaco’s parents and two brothers. Giuseppa worked in the Paterson textile industry, mainly in coat factories, for over fifteen years.
Giuseppa will be remembered as a loving and pleasant person. Just about anyone she came in contact with soon loved her. Her kind, soft, and giving personality will be cherished by her children and grandchildren. Her family will also hold dear to her tradition of never letting you leave her home hungry. The satisfaction she enjoyed of watching others enjoy her homemade pizza, homemade pasta, and the Taralli Italian cookies she would make from scratch will forever be lovingly remembered. Her grandchildren will always hold close to the memories of her making them warm fresh bread in the shape of dolls. All of her specialties will never be cooked quite the same, as the special ingredient of love she included in everything she made could never be duplicated.
Giuseppa was the loving mother of Carmine Sabia and wife Joanne of Wayne, and Laura Simonelli also of Wayne; she was the cherished grandmother of four grandchildren: Michael, Robert, Jaclynn and Diana; she was the dear sister of Salvatore Rizzo and his wife Maria of Italy, and two sisters Gioconda Rizzo of Paterson, and Donata Rizzo of Italy.
Giuseppa was predeceased by her beloved husband of 62 years - Ciriaco in 2013 and two brothers Mattia and Amodio Rizzo.
