She was born Santina Cipolla in Fara San Martino, Chieti, Italy in 1933.  She immigrated to Philadelphia after WWII with her mother, Nunzia Cipolla; sister, Maria Cipolla Schiavone; and her brother, Joseph Cipolla to be reunited with their father, Nicola Cipolla.  
Santina was married to Thomas Marra in 1958 and they had three children, Therese who is married to Brian Callaghan; Tom who is married to Gail Verge, and Paul who is married to Tracy Smith Marra of Hummelstown.  Santina  was widowed at the age of 39 and took joy in raising her three children who gave her seven grandchildren. Her children and grandchildren brought her happiness.  Nonna, as she was known by them, was very proud of her family.  She had an amazing joy for life and will be missed by all that were blessed to have her in their lives.

Santina worked as a Retail Sales Associate at House of Bargains and at Acme Markets in Delaware County, PA and took pleasure in knowing her customers.  She also enjoyed baking pies at a local retail bakery.  

She loved cooking Italian foods such as gnocchi, meatballs and pizzelle which were enjoyed by so many friends and family.  Among her other talents was her green thumb for gardening and neighbors would admire her beautiful plants and flowers.  She was an avid crocheter and made countless blankets and scarves that are keeping many warm today. Recently, she crocheted blankets for veterans and babies in the hospital.
