Concettina
Gallo
Concettina Gallo, 93, of West Hartford, beloved wife of Umberto Gallo for 68 years, passed away on Tuesday, March 1, 2022. Born on June 13, 1928 in Palazzolo Acreide in Sicily, Italy, daughter of Santo and Lidia Leone. Concettina was a devout Catholic and made many personal sacrifices for her children and grandchildren. You can’t tell Concettina’s life story without speaking of the lifelong love affair she had with her husband. The love they felt for each other was palpable. Along with being a great mother, Concettina was an excellent cook, always making homemade food from scratch and never having a guest leave the house on an empty stomach. She loved taking care of her family, laughing and spending time with her grandchildren, which she absolutely adored.
She leaves behind her sons, Frank and wife Pat, Bruce and wife Lori and their three children Anthony, Dominic, and Brianna, along with relatives from the Gallo, Leone, Galli, Izzo, and Hinckley families. Our family would like to express special thanks to her caregiver Iwona, who treated our mother as her own and with such love and affection.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, March 7th at 11:00 am at Saint Patrick Church, Farmington. Entombment will be at Mt. St. Benedict Cemetery, Bloomfield. The Mass will also celebrate the life of Umberto Gallo, who was unable to have a Mass of Christian Burial due to COVID restrictions. Online condolences may be made at www.SheehanHilbornBreen.com
