Born in Scranton, daughter of the late Angelo Charles Sileo and Carmella Emily Esposito Sileo, she was a graduate of Dunmore High School. She worked as a nurse’s aide at the Clark Summit State Hospital. She was a member of St. John Neumann Parish, Scranton.
She loved her family first and foremost. She was always there to support her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Noni made every day special but none more so than the holidays. She loved to cook and bake – especially homemade bread and Christmas cookies. Favorite sports teams were the Philadelphia Phillies and the Pittsburgh Steelers. She was an avid reader and loved to work crossword puzzles. She enjoyed traveling with her late husband George and her children, and with her siblings and their spouses.

She was also preceded in death by a brother, Joseph Sileo.
The family would like to thank Douglas Klamp, M.D. and Martin Hyzinski, M.D. and their staff, and the staff at Allied Skilled Nursing for the excellent support they provided during their mom’s extended illness.
