Obituary For Flora R. Ventresca

Flora Romana Ventresca, of Fremont, California, passed away peacfully at home on February 5, 2023. She was born on April 21, 1930 in Torre dei Nolfi, Abruzzo, Italy. She was one of 8 children. Her childhood memories of farm life, family and cooking were great stories she shared.

Flora & her husband Panfilo (Ben) Ventresca grew up in the same small town and were married on April 25, 1954. They started their life together on an adventure to Venezula and a few years later immigrated to the United States to join family in Massachusetts and then on to California for 65 years.

Flora enjoyed nurturing her beautiful and bountiful gardens as well as cooking amazing meals for family and friends. Spring time was her favorite season for gardening and the start of baseball. She enjoyed watching all sports and was always eager to cheer on her San Fransco Giants and 49ers.

Flora is survived by her daughters, Rita Stokes & Gina Cruzen (Rich), and grandsons, Kevin, Lee & Aiden.

She was preceded in death by her husband Panfilo (Ben) Ventresca and grandson, Sean Stokes.

Private family interment will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Catholic Charities USA in her honor.
