Gloria Josephine SCARPACE:
Born 25 March 1925, Buffalo, Erie Co, NY
Died 15 October 1999, Northridge, Los Angeles Co, CA
9 Aug 1999: (per Paul J Caito, Rochester, NY) When talking to Gloria Scarpace Caito, in Burbank, CA, she thought that her grandmother was Vincenzia "Longo" (your [Laurie Scarpace McKenzie] listing is "Long"). It's obviously a variation of the same name, but I may ask my genealogist to check out Vincenzia because my gr-grandmother was a Longo before marrying her husband, who was a Sansone. Her name was Providenza Salvatrice Bertha Longo (b. Sept 22, 1880 in Termini) and she married Giuseppe C. Sansone (b. May 31, 1872 in Termini). Although I've been working on the Sansone side of my family, I haven't done anything on the Longo's yet. Looking at the dates, I wonder if your Vincenzia could have been the sister of my Providenza's father? Vincenzia's children were born in the 1880's, which is when my gr-grandmother was born, so Vincenzia would probably be of the generation of Providenza's father.
Death: Gloria died of leukemia. Gloria was first diagnosed with leukemia last fall after her trip to Buffalo and Batavia. She had been in remission until shortly before her death.
