Agatha Russo

She was the wittiest, sassiest, most hilarious little 4'9" woman with a big New York attitude and immense pride in her Italian heritage. According to her, if you weren't Italian, you didn't know how to cook. (Just ask the staff at the Lakes of Sylvania who tried to feed her their "Italian" food. She refused to eat it.)

She could make even the most mundane situations fun. She was cracking jokes right up until the end and could find humor in absolutely any situation—whether it was appropriate or not.

She was an amazing cook, a skilled seamstress, and she adored babies and children.

She could strike up a conversation with anyone, but if you asked her, she'd insist she was shy.

There will never be anyone else like my grandma, and according to all her grandchildren, we were incredibly lucky she was ours.

Agatha will make her final journey home to Long Island, New York, where she will be reunited with her beloved husband, Pat.

She is survived by her daughter, Kathleen Russo Sutton (Robert); her grandchildren, Jessica Russo, Alia Husain (Scott Greenfield), Shaan Husain, Noreen Pezzino (John), and Anisa Husain (Arjun Menon); and her great-grandchildren, Sofia Pezzino, Roman Pezzino, Meena Husain, Victoria Russo, Angel Russo, and Julia Pin.

Agatha is preceded in death by her Loving Husband Pat, Parents, Victor and Rose, Siblings Anthony and Josephine, Son Paul Russo, Grandson Scott Russo.

The family would like to extend their gratitude for the wonderful and loving care that was given to Agatha by the staff at The Lakes of Sylvania and Ohio Living Hospice.
