From a large Italian family, Edith was the sister of: Rita Cesino, Mary Folgo, and brothers Pasquale, Alfred, Tony, Romeo, Robert, and Arthur Cesino.
She married the love of her life in 1946 and enjoyed being a homemaker. Those years were her happiest enjoying family vacations and Sundays at Sand Hill Cove Beach.
Later, she worked at the Uncas Mfg. Co. where she was a dedicated employee. After retirement, Edith enjoyed helping her family and neighbors in times of need. She loved working in her garden and took great pride in her home and being able to cut her own lawn into her 80’s.
