Additional Information
Born Ophelia Dorothea Latorra in Bayonne and raised in Finderne. She moved to Bernardsville in 1942 after marrying Bruno Petriccione, long time proprietor of Carmine's Barber Shop on Claremont Road. They relocated to a home on Olcott Avenue where they lived for 25 years raising three children.
Mrs. Petriccione was a devoted mother and homemaker well-known for her fine Italian meals. Proof of her culinary abilities came every Sunday afternoon as friends and relatives would appear just as dinner was served. At her table one was not only thrilled by the fare, but was delighted with wonderfully animated stories she would tell from her youth. A member of Covenant Chapel in Basking Ridge for many years, she was an active participant in church activities and local community events.
