Born in Newark, Amelia was raised in the Ironbound Section and later lived in Union for many years before moving to Lantern Hill in 2018. She was a clerk for the Union Township Department of Public Works for many years prior to her retirement 30 years ago. Amelia was a jack of all trades who was fiercely devoted to her family. A strong woman who raised five children, she enjoyed Spanish food and music, and liked to pass some time by knitting. She was an avid fan of the New York Yankees and always cheered them on, even when those "bums" were losing. A social butterfly, Amelia cherished the friends she made at Lantern Hill, challenging them in Rummikub where she always played to win. Amelia also had fond memories of summers spent in Surfside Beach, SC with her family for over 20 beautiful years.

She was the loving mother of Diana Scacciaferro, Gary Vicente and his wife Kathleen, Emily Guelph and her husband Dave, Denise Satiritz and her husband Scott, and the late Robert Vicente. She was the treasured grandmother of Anita Tsigourakos and her husband Anthony, Valerie Scacciaferro, Dominique Moore and her husband Kevin, Dan Vicente and his wife Alexandra, Frank Scacciaferro, Travis Satiritz, Robert Vicente, Gianna Vicente, David Guelph, Anthony Vicente, and the late Zachary Satiritz. She was the adoring great-grandmother of Riley, Gabriella, Kevin, Anthony, Leo and Charlotte; and the dear sister of Albert Cernadas and his wife Balbina.
