Agnes Ungaro was a wonderful woman. I have many very fond memories of her when I was younger. She made the best meatballs and macaroni. She loved Sidney Sheldon books and playing Rummy Kube. She was a fabulous seamstress. She made my mom’s dress for my brother’s wedding and it was gorgeous. My mother has never looked prettier. She also made me a dress to wear to a friend’s wedding and I loved it. She really was a special lady who was there whenever you needed her. She was sweet, kind, caring and a wonderful friend and mom. Although I hadn’t seen her in a long time, I thought of her often and I will miss her. But I will always have wonderful memories of her. Rest in Peace Aggie. Love, Lori
Mama Ungaro will always have special place in my heart. I’ve known her since i was 9.
She taught me to sew, and helped with many of my failed projects. She always had many craft and other projects going. I’ll always remember tea and vanilla wafers in her kitchen.
Our Moms became great friends. They enjoyed Monday shopping and movie nights. She was a good friend., they enjoyed many decades of friendship. I know she enjoyed the warmth of Florida– and then being close to Mary.
May you now rest in peace. May your family find peace in knowing she lived a long full life.
She was kind, warm and really funny. Rest in Peace.
