Mildred Laterra (nee Carbone) age 89 of Hackensack, died peacefully on Monday, June 30, 2008 with one of her daughters by her side.
She was born in Hackensack and lived in Saddle Brook for twenty-six years before returning to Hackensack thirty-four years ago.
For many years, Mildred and her husband, were the owners of the Terra Mini-Mall on Market Street in Saddle Brook.
She was a parishioner of Saint Phillips RC Church, Saddle Brook.
When Mildred was one month old her mother Carmella Occhipinti passed away. Several years later her father married her mother’s sister, Theresa Occhipinti, who raised Mildred like her own daughter. Mildred considered herself a very fortunate person in that she “had two mothers” who loved her very much.
Mildred’s father, Joseph Carbone, was the owner of the Hudson Market on Hudson Street in Hackensack. For several years Mildred worked as a cashier at the family business.
Mildred is best described as the ultimate lady. She was elegant, gracious, had a reserved strength, immaculate, possessed an inner and outer beauty, and she had a great, if not dry, sense of humor. She was a great cook and creative in many different ways. Her creativity was exemplified by her designing her own home and even designing a dress she wore to her daughter’s wedding. Although she was an elegant lady, she was a loving and caring mother and grandmother, who was not above getting down on the floor and playing with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Mildred did not like to sit still for very long. She loved to travel, especially enjoyed trips to Atlantic City, but most of all she held her 1940 honeymoon cruise to Havana, Cuba as the best trip of her life.
Mildred was the beloved wife of fifty years and had an adoring and loving marriage to the late Salvatore J. Laterra(1990); loving mother of Joan Sauter of Wayne and her late husband Frank and Sally Ingui and her husband Silvio of Wayne; cherished grandmother of Julie Sirugo and her husband Joe, Laurie Fontana and her husband Todd and Stephen Laterra Ingui; much loved great-grandmother of Emily, Joseph and Elizabeth Sirugo and Francesca, Samantha and Christopher Fontana; loved sister of Jean Perone of Florida, Angela Iozzia of Brick, the late Grace Perone and the late Joseph Carbone, Jr.
