Teresa Marchese was Marlene’s great aunt.
She was Mario’s sister and lived next door to him in San Jose. This picture is
her and her husband Joseph Zacardi. Teresa was born in Palermo,Sicily in 1876.She
died in 1919 during her fourth childbirth. She already had 5 children, Rose, Margaret
Giovanna, Edith and Pasquale. Pasquale and Giovanna died before 1919. After her
death, Joseph took the girls and returned toAbrutzi, Italy. He died shortly thereafter
and the girls ended up in an orphanage. Teresa’s older brother Salvadore and wife
Mary worked hard to finally get the girls back to the U. S. and they raised them
as their own. Edith died many years ago but Rose and Margaret are still living
and reside together in San Jose. Rose is 94 and Margaret is 87.
