Nicolina passed away on Monday at Bonetti's in Harrisville.
She was the daughter of Vincenzo Camilli (abt. 1859-1938) and Eufrasia Marini ( - d. 1915)
Nicolina (her birth certificate says Nicola) married Domenico Teatino in Italy. He came to the US in October 1912, and she followed in 1915 with their son, Paolino. They arrived at Ellis Island on the SS Patria on May 6.
Domenico worked in Butler Pa. for the B&LE Railroad, and died in July 1915 at Butler County General Hospital after suffering a crushing accident with the trains.
She married Frank Panei in Butler Pa on 21 October 1915.
Nicolina became a US citizen on December 5, 1940.
She had 11 children, two of them passing away as infants.
I remember watching her make her own spaghetti noodles, seeing them on tea towels draped over chairs in her kitchen.
She always wore an apron that was safety-pinned to her dress.
My grandmother spoke in an Italian/English combination. I didn't understand most of what she was saying, until she got upset and I could figure that out.
Her siblings:
John Battista Camilli 1900-1985
Giovanna Camilli Cellini 1888-1951.
Nicolina survived the earthquake in Avezzano Italy on January 13, 1915, but it took her mother's life.
