Philomene graduated from Westinghouse High School in 1942 followed by employment with the Veterans Administration retiring at the age of 57 in 1980. Early retirement enabled her the luxury of traveling the world with her beloved sister Christine.
Foremost Philomene was extremely proud of her Italian Heritage. She treasured her memories of their multiple trips to Italy absorbing the culture returning home with many cherished family recipes which she was then able to prepare for the family.
She was an avid needle worker bestowing many beautiful gifts to family and friends.
