A local woman is hoping to retrieve a family heirloom she carelessly gave away not knowing its history.
Debi Sammartino Gare was clearing out her mother’s condo after her passing in October 2017.
Louise “Thup” Sammartino lived at Regency Court and had a deep love for her family, her Trinity United family and for her communities of Armstrong and Vernon.
“I had visitors come and go and I always encouraged them to take something of mom’s in her memory as I filled boxes to be donated to different charities,” said Gare.
