Mrs. Siragusa made the most delicious homemade potato salad and it was always enjoyed by her entire family.

She was a wonderful, loving mother and grandmother,' 'said her daughter-in-law, Mary Siragusa. Being generous and always helping others were her best qualities.'

In addition to her son, Robert, she is survived by two grandchildren.
