Aurelia Menichini, 76, of West Pittston, passed away on Friday morning May 29, 2015 at the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Hospital, Plains Twp.

Born in Pittston, she was the daughter of the late Vittorio and Linda Chiavacci Menichini.

She was a member and a Eucharistic Minister at Corpus Christi Parish, West Pittston.

Aurelia was a 1956 graduate of West Pittston High School and went on to Nursing school at Mercedian where she graduated in 1957.

She had worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse at Moses Taylor Hospital for 40 years and most recently for Redicare in Taylor.  Her coworkers would tell you that she was the most devoted nurse.  

She was preceded in death by her sister Diana Marranca.
  
Surviving are her nieces and nephews; Maria and her husband Lindo Sabatini, Exeter; Carmen and his wife Sharon Marranca, Exeter and Victor Marranca, Brooklyn,NY.

Known as Aunt Tete to her family, her greatest passion was spending time with and caring for her great nieces and nephews: Aubriana and Joseph Marranca, and Sofia, Savino and Santo Sabatini. She did absolutely anything and everything for them and was known to come running when they called.  No questions asked - it was her pleasure.  They love her beyond words and will miss her tremendously.
