Critelli, Concetta May 5, 1937. The daughter of Angelo Mascia and Carmela Mascia (nee Zuppa), wife of 64 years to the late Ralph Critelli, sister to the late JoAnn Durante. She is survived by her two children Ralph J. (Wendy) Critelli and Michelle M.

She is also survived by her brother-in-law Charles Durante, closest friend Joanne DAmico, and numerous other cousins and friends. If you knew our mom you might ask, what was it like to be raised by a loyal & loving wife, compassionate and loving friend, supportive and loving mother/grandmother/great-grandmother and one of the most giving, selfless, capable, and caring individuals anyone could ever know? We would tell you that it was extraordinary. It was a treasure, a precious privilege, and gift to call Concetta Marie Critelli, our mom. The loyalty and love that she shared with her husband Ralph was a glowing example of commitment and caring that flourished for over 64 years, her compassion and love for her friends was immeasurable--- one friend, Joanne, she spoke with on the telephone every morning for over 40 years! Professionally she worked at Two Guys, AM&As, Bonton, and lastly BJs. In every situation Connies presence and smile helped build a community of friendship and love. Her life was a breath-taking masterpiece, a tapestry woven of trust, commitment, unselfishness, kindness, generosity and most importantly overflowing and enduring love. All of us that were blessed to have had Connie Critelli (Mom/Grandma) touch our lives will always remember her asking, "Can I get you anything?" How could she get us anything, when she already gave us EVERYTHING.
