Marianna Treglia

Marianna “Ninuccia” Forte Treglia, age 90, of Ronkonkoma, New York died peacefully surrounded by her family on March 25, 2021.  She was born in the little town of Trivio di Formia, Italy, November 1930 and was married to Alessandro Treglia in 1948.

Marianna left Trivio and immigrated to the United States onboard the then renowned ocean liner “Raffaello”, arriving in New York City with her husband Alessandro and her young family in early 1966.  The family settled in Brooklyn where Marianna dedicated herself to raising her four children, providing love and guidance to ensure her family thrived in their new country.

Some years later, she took a job as a seamstress in a dress shop in Brooklyn and subsequently moved to their home in Cypress Hills, NY.  In the late 1980’s Marianna and her family realized their dream of a lifetime by opening and successfully operating the family-owned business Trivio Pizzeria and Restaurant in Forest Hills, NY.

After their move to Ronkonkoma, NY Marianna and her husband Alessandro always looked forward to hosting the family weekend get together at the house.  Everyone enjoyed the pool and feasting on all of Mom’s homemade delicacies, and at the end of the day everyone would go home with leftovers.

Throughout her life, Marianna was a very caring and a devout person.  She became a regular parishioner of the St. Joseph Church in Ronkonkoma and recited the Rosary daily.  Marianna was very devoted to Mother Cabrini, Saint Padre Pio, Saint Anthony of Padova and the Beatified Pina Suriano.  With her husband at her side, Marianna made several pilgrimages to the Cabrini Shrine in New York City, the Church of San Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo, the Church of the Beatified Pina Suriano in Partinico, the Church Saint Rita di Cascia in Italy, as well as the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in France.

Marianna is predeceased by her dear son Giuseppe, her parents Maria and Antonio, her in-laws Letizia, Ernestina and Giuseppe as well as her brother Giovanni.

She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 72 years, Alessandro, four beloved children, Carlo and his wife Fina, Letizia and her husband Gary, Josephine and her husband Carmelo and Ezio and his wife Dorothy.

Cherished grandmother to Marianna and her husband Chris, Alessandro and his wife Lisa, Anthony and Shannon, Evan, Andrew and Monica, Melissa and John, John and his wife Cari Ann, Tina and husband Ryan, Nina and husband Dennis, Michael and Megan.

Great grandmother to eleven great grandchildren; Nicholas and Gabriella, Carlo and Fotunata, Carter, Alex and Gianna, Carly and Drew and Christian and Lia.  Loving family member to numerous relatives in New York, New Jersey and Italy.

Marianna was a very warm, caring and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and aunt.  We will forever remember her love and guidance, her smile, her kind words, her delicious recipes and her unforgettable phrases when any family member would leave her house; “state attento” and La Madonna t’accumpagna”.
