Elizabeth Ann Pileggi was our mother, Nani, and friend. She was a woman of great Catholic faith and also took pride in her Italian heritage. Anyone who knew her, understood they would be part of her world, never be hungry, never go unprayed for and never win a hand of Liverpool Rummy.

Her loss to brain cancer was a shock to her church, her community and most of all to her family. She fought and battled for 6 short months. Her quiet acceptance of her terminal fate let others help her and allowed those who loved her to be by her side.

Her legacy has lived on. Each participant in this years 5k has been touched because of her in some way.
