EUGENIA G. MORGANTE
Eugenia Gertrude Morgante passed from this life to join her Lord and Savior on Thursday, September 15, 2022 surrounded by her loved ones.

Morgante, parents, Carl and Gertrude Strasser, and sister, Teresa Andrews. She was a devout Catholic and member of St. Monica’s Catholic Church.
She dedicated her life to be a stay-at-home mom, homemaker and was our hero. She was an avid reader, enjoyed cards, puzzles, and musicals. She was always our go-to for trivia or movie answers. Whether you knew her as Mama Gene, Mom, G’ma, or grandma, you were certain she loved you unconditionally. She left a mark of love and joy on everyone she met. She will be sorely missed but has left us with many wonderful memories.
She is survived by her eleven children: Juliet Wadsworth, Dr. Cristiano Morgante, Lucinda Deputy, Valeria Morgante, Monica Fortner (Tim), Cara Gilbert, Nora Johnson (Robert), Gene Morgante (Renda), David Zeno (Joy), John Morgante, and Toni Gonzales (Victor); 23 grandchildren: Dr. Ashley Perry (Bryan), Felicia Mathews, Adam Deputy (Megan), Lindsay Morris (Justin), Drs.

Lester (Kelli), and Courtney Lester. She was also dearly loved by many nieces, nephews, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and close family friends.
