Concetta was a native of Westlake and resided in LeBleu Settlement. She was a graduate of St. Louis Catholic High School class of 1976 and was an employee of BMC of Westlake. Concetta was a lover of life blessed with a beautiful smile that brightened the room. She had a playful spirit and infectious laughter that often led to joyful tears and sore abdomens. At her 60th birthday celebration she playfully donned her gifted pink onesie outfit in the restaurant like a jester in court.
