Dolores 'Dee' Liberto

Dolores "Dee" Liberto was born on New Year's Day 1933 in Hammonton, New Jersey. She moved to Philadelphia as a child and graduated from West Catholic Girl's High School. She would eventually settle back in southern New Jersey and called Hammonton, Blue Anchor and Ventnor home for most of her life. She was known to be light on her feet (she won many a dance contest in her youth), had a formidably sharp mind (she made a habit of finishing the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle), and had a lightning quick wit. Woe to anyone who tried to best her at cards, or Trivial Pursuit, or Jeopardy (her favorite show). Dee was renowned for her meatballs and gravy, which garnered "best ever" accolades from coast to coast. Dee had boundless love for her family and was the sun around which they all orbited. Predeceased by her husband Rudolph Liberto, parents Romolo DeSantis and Assunta Musero and her 2 sisters Rita Marino and Gloria DellaPeruta..Dee is survived by her sister and longtime housemate/gambling partner Marie Mammucari, sister, Barbara "Lorraine" and husband Dan Fedeli, son Anthony and his wife Susan, son Stephen and daughters Diana and Lydia. Dee also is survived by her grandchildren Grayson, Tony and wife Sasi (with a great-grandson on the way), Lauren, Austin, Steven, Alessandra, Rocco, Michael, Sonny, sister-in-laws Josephine Liberta and Jean Liberto, brother-in-law David Liberto and many loving nieces and nephews. Family and friends are invited to attend her viewing Monday from 9:00am - 11:00am all at St. Mary of Mt. Carmel parish - St. Anthony of Padua Church 285 Rt. 206 Hammonton, NJ. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00am. Burial will be at a later date at the convenience of the family. Arrangements entrusted to the Marinella Funeral Home 102 N. 3rd St. Hammonton, NJ. www.marinellafuneralhome.com.
