A graduate of Naugatuck High School, she was the owner and hairdresser, for over 35 years of Galiette’s Beauty Salon in Naugatuck. Her customers experienced great beauty care including complementary lunch and chauffeur service provided by her husband Dom. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who cherished her family and was extremely proud of all her children and grandchildren’s accomplishments. She was a devoted friend to many and would do as much as she could to help them out when in need. She was deeply religious and was a communicant of St. Vincent Ferrer Church in Naugatuck

Having multiple medical issues throughout her life, the family would like to extend its deepest thanks, especially to Dr Ralph Tremaglio, Dr Stanley Hersh, and the numerous home health care givers throughout her life for the outstanding care, compassion and kindness they provided her.
