Natalina Pacifico

Natalina Pacifico passed away on May 18, 2025, at the age of 80. Born on December 14, 1944, in the picturesque village of San Bartolomeo in Galdo, Italy, Natalina brought the warmth and love of her Italian heritage to the communities she embraced. For over 50 years, she lived in Millburn, New Jersey.

Natalina’s life was a tapestry woven with love, family, and an array of delightful pursuits. With a heart dedicated to nurturing those around her, she found joy in cooking, baking, and tending her garden, all of which were manifestations of the care and attention she bestowed upon her family. She was also a talented seamstress.

She is survived by her sons, Tony Pacifico and Mario Pacifico, who carry forth the legacy of their mother. Alongside them, her brothers, Sylvester and Salvatore, and her sister, Grazia. Natalina also leaves behind a host of nieces and nephews who hold cherished memories of their time spent together, along with her beloved grandchildren, Zachary and Samantha, who were the light of her later years and the embodiment of her love.

She joins in eternal rest her late husband, Matteo, whose companionship enriched her life, and her sister, Elisabetta.

Family and friends may pay their respects during the visitation on Thursday May 22, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Galante Funeral Home, 2800 Morris Ave., Union, NJ. A Mass celebrating her remarkable life will be held the following day on Friday May 23, 2025, at 10:00 AM at St. Rose of Lima Church, 50 Short Hills Ave, Short Hills, NJ, followed by entombment in the Chapels at Short Hills.

 She will be deeply missed and cherished forever in the hearts of those she touched with her spirit.
