Mom lived a beautiful life surrounded by the love of a large family that carried her traditions of celebrating each other’s lives. She was an amazing and talented woman. Her hands were magical. She had a passion for sewing, gardening and a love of cooking and baking. She taught us how to entertain and made everyone feel welcomed in her home around her dining table. Well enough that they would return often. We are grateful to have such valuable memories with her growing up in a beautiful home. She was a meticulous woman certainly with herself and her surroundings. She loved music and could listen to it all day. Her favorites were Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Michael Buble and Barbara Streisand. She lived on her own until 3 years ago when she started showing signs of dementia. She resided at Hancock Hall in Danbury where she was treated like a princess and from what we hear was so well loved and made everyone laugh. We are forever grateful to the staff there who were responsible for aiding in keeping her dignity and pride right to the end. Gilda is survived by her loving children: Patricia Mazza (Robert), Lorraine Mastantuono (Anthony), Marc Iannotti (Tina), Adrienne DeAngelis (Richard) and Sister Gloria Tedeschi, 2 brothers George Pietrocola and Joseph Pietrocola. Also survived 7 cherished grandchildren: Nicole, Janine, Lisa, Deanna, Adrianna, Nicolas, and Dominique. In addition 3 great grandchildren: Brayden, Jackson and Skyler.
