Eliaann “Lee” Sanfilippo-Maglietto of Waupaca, age 75, started her heavenly journey on Monday, December 23, 2019, to be with her mother, children, as well as many friends and relatives in heaven.
She was born in Buffalo, New York on September 25, 1944 to the late Angelo and Nancy (Maglietto) Sanfilippo. Lee was a volunteer driver for many years in Waupaca County. Some would consider her vehicle a “Church on Wheels.” Lee never missed an opportunity to witness and share her love for the Lord with her passengers.
Mimi will be sadly missed by her children: Francisco Maglietto, Sunshine Maglietto (Hector), Carlo Maglietto, Francesca (Michael) Pribnow; grandchildren: Ronald (Crystal) Mason, Elia Maglietto II, Angelica (Chris) Lewis, Trevor Young, Logan Maglietto, Carlee, Christopher, and Chelsea Maglietto, Sheree Lewis; great-grandchildren: Ron and Joey Mason, Michael, Elia III and Eva Pribnow, Cece, Cash and Calvin Lewis, Mason Maglietto, Rumi and Hakuin Bursian, Micah and Nathan; best friends: Sharon “Sunny” Owens, Margaret Wozniak, Merry McDaniel; special friend, Jerry “Buttercup” Casey; siblings: Dolly Fugate, Angelo Sanfilippo, and Sammie Jean Halsey, other relatives and friends. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a daughter, Marie Elena Maglietto and sons, Peter and Christopher Maglietto; brother, Joseph Sanfilippo and brother-in-law, Hal Fugate.
The Memorial Service will be on Saturday, January 18, 2020 at 2 p.m. at the Maple Crest Funeral Home. The visitation will be on Saturday from 12 p.m. until the time of the service.
