Carmela Amabile

Carmela “Millie” Cascone Amabile, loving wife of the late Mario Amabile, formerly of New York and Monroe, CT, passed away on February 29, 2016 in Pinehurst, NC.

After her beloved Mario passed away in 1988, Millie relocated to Connecticut. She happily shared in the fun of all her children and grandchildren’s activities. Holidays were all the more wonderful when family members enjoyed everything that was prepared in “Millie’s kitchen”. Her apple turnovers were considered “legendary”! Millie was also an accomplished seamstress and also loved to knit and crochet. She loved to travel, especially to Disneyworld. Millie is survived by her devoted daughters, Barbara Leoncini and her husband, Louis of Seven Lakes, NC, Marie Homa and her husband, William of Pinehurst, NC and Linda Schreiber of Holtsville, NY. She will be deeply missed by cherished grandchildren, Michael and Yukiko Leoncini, Brian and Jessica Leoncini, Steven and Tara Fellmeth, Kristina and Greg Walsh, David and Bernadette Schreiber, and Peter Schreiber; and great grandchildren, Ena Leoncini and George Schreiber. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her son-in-law, Robert Schreiber.
