Antonetta
Feltri
Apr 8, 1939 — Jun 21, 2018
Antonetta Feltri (nee Pascarella), 79, of Manville, New Jersey, passed away peacefully at Lower Bucks Hospital in Bristol, Pennsylvania, entering eternal life on June 21, 2018.
Antonetta was born in the province of Naples, Italy, in the town of Cervino, on April 8, 1939. Antonetta was the fourth-born child to her parents, Vincenzo Pascarella and Antoinette Pascarella (nee. Abbattiello), who both immigrated to the United States from Italy. Antonetta grew up with her sisters, Anna, Domenica, Michelina, and Stephanina, her older brother, Luigi and younger brother, Antimo Pascarella.
In the 1950's Antonetta immigrated to the United States with several family members and settled in Syracuse, New York. She helped her parents and her aunt maintain their households and was employed by Syracuse China for several years.
Antonetta married John (Giovanni) Feltri on July 7, 1962, moved to, and eventually settled in, New Jersey in 1964; they were married for almost 56 years. Together, John and Antonetta had a son, Joseph Vincent Feltri.
From the time she moved to New Jersey until the early 1990s, Antonetta was a devoted wife and mother, taking care of the family household, raising her son, ensuring that her family and son's friends had fantastic Italian cuisine, working outside of the household, and demanding that her husband, John, take her to the beauty parlor, shopping and out to eat on Saturdays at various malls and department stores scattered throughout New Jersey. She and her husband made frequent trips throughout the United States and Canada, visiting relatives and enjoying the vacation time with their families in places such as, Syracuse, New York, Monroe, Louisiana and Montreal, the province of Quebec, Canada. Antonetta held jobs with Tandy Electronics and Falcon Safety Products , both located in Somerset County New Jersey, working for 17 years, until her retirement in 1992.
In retirement, Antonetta enjoyed spending time and the holidays with her husband, son, Joseph, and daughter-in-law, Susan, and, most of all, her grandchildren, Samantha and Jacqueline Feltri. Antonetta constantly reminded her children that she always had time to babysit her granddaughters, dropping anything at the spur of the moment to spend time with them. Antonetta's granddaughters lovingly referred to her as their "Nonna," which is Grandmother in Italian. She also loved taking care of hers cats, Sabrina, Cleo and Figaro (AKA Theo).
Antonetta is survived by her son, Joseph V. Feltri, daughter-in-law, Susan, and her granddaughters, Samantha and Jacqueline; her sister Stefanina Dwyer and brother-in-law, Joseph Dwyer; her brother, Antimo "Tony" Pascarella, and sister-in-law, Josephine Pascarella; her sister-in-law, Felomana Pascarella; and a number of nephews and nieces who live in the Syracuse, New York and Montreal, Quebec, metro areas. She is also survived by her brother-in-law Gaetano "Nino" Feltri, her sister-in-law, Christine Feltri, and her nephew Joseph R. Feltri; as well as her caregiver Rebecca Moore. Antonetta was predeceased by her husband John (Giovanni) Feltri; father and mother, Vincenzo and Antoinette Pascarella; her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Joseph (Guiseppe) and Clementina Feltri, her brother Luigi Pascarella, and sisters Anna Pascarella, Domenica Pascarella and Michelina DiMolfetta.
