Catherine “Kay” Talarico, 95, of Red Bank, NJ, died on Wednesday, July 24.
Kay was born in 1928 in Sant’Andrea, Italy where she lived throughout her early childhood. At around the age of six she, her sister and her mother left Italy to join father in the United States, spending the remainder of her formative years in Red Bank, New Jersey.
In 1946, Kay married her beloved husband Ed and raised their two boys together; they celebrated 61 years of marriage shortly before his passing in 2007. She worked as a Technical Inspector for EAI. She was a parishioner of St. Anthony’s of Padua. Kay was a very proud Italian who enjoyed cooking and baking, and preparing early for the holidays. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family.
She is predeceased by her parents Antonietta and Vincent Rovito, her husband Armando “Ed” Talarico, and her son, Vincent “Vinny” Talarico.
Kay is survived by her son, Emilio and his wife Dorothy Talarico of Holmdel, her daughters-in-law Mary Talarico and Grace Talarico; her sister, Vonda Grippaldi, her three grandchildren Linda, David, and Amanda Talarico, and one great-grandchild Jack Salvatore Talarico.
A memorial gathering will be held on Tuesday July, 30th at 10:30 am at the Holmdel Funeral Home, 26 S. Holmdel Road, Holmdel.
In lieu of traditional remembrances, Kay’s family asks with gratitude that donations in her memory be made to the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org)
