Nancy Amato met the love of her life, Albert Trasatti, at a dance in South Philadelphia, a spark that would ignite a lifelong journey together. They were married on October 17th, 1953, and together, they built a life centered around faith, family, and joy. Their marriage was marked by unwavering devotion and celebrated milestones -- 50, 60, and even 70 beautiful years of togetherness. Nancy was a hairdresser for many years and a proud member of St. Matthew's Parish. For many years Nancy sang in the choir, uplifting the congregation with her spirit and voice. Each day began with Mass, followed by everyday adventures that often included joyfully dragging Albert along on shopping outings. Faith and routine were pillars in Nancy's life, and she cherished the simple, shared moments that made up their daily rhythm. Albert was a quiet, gentle man who loved his pasta and his family. He was a printer for 40 plus years. He was a huge baseball fan and especially loved his Phillies. Albert even enjoyed playing softball with his friends into his 80's. His birthday signs that he made for his family were always so special and he will always be rememberd for his fine art work. "Family always came first" for Albert and Nancy. Their love for their family was unconditional and the parties and shore vacations will always be fondly remembered.

Albert and Nancy were the proud and doting grandparents to 5 grandsons: Manus McGettigan, Vincent McGettigan (Nancy), Albert McGettigan (Nicole), Brandon Brodzinski, and Justin Brodzinski.
