(Rose) Morinello, NYS Assemblyman, Laura (late Frank) Morinello-LaVia and Vincent (Karen) Rolle; her grandchildren, Melissa (Joseph Genovese) Morinello, Matthew (Grace Labbe) Morinello, Maximos Rolle, Karoline Rolle, Niko Rolle and Marco Rolle; her-greatgrandchildren, Giuliana and Raffaela Genovese; and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews, all of whom she cherished as her own children.
