Obituary of Filomena Aiello

Please share a memory of Filomena to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Filomena Aiello, 87, of Wilkes-Barre, passed away on Monday, May 19, 2025, at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Filadelfia (Calabria) Italy, a daughter of the late Vito and Giovanna Bilotta Campisano. Filomena was formerly employed at various local dress factories. She later worked for many years as a dietary aide at the Little Flower Manor in Wilkes-Barre, prior to her retirement. Filomena was a devout Catholic and a member of Our Lady of Hope Parish in Wilkes-Barre, and prior to its closure she was a member of Holy Trinity Church in Wilkes-Barre. She was also a member of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. Filomena lived a purposeful life that touched many- a life filled with quiet strength, humility, and especially unconditional love. She possessed great empathy and always put others before herself. Despite facing numerous challenges in life, she inspired us all with the way she handled everything with grace and strength. Filomena embodied a mother’s true and generous love. She was the heart of her family in which she was adored by all. She created a place of togetherness, comfort, and love. Her strength wasn’t loud; it was the kind that quietly held generations together. For those of us who remain, her love and our cherished memories are our most valuable and enduring gifts. She was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph E. Aiello in 2002. She was also preceded in death by her beloved daughter-in-law, Jane Aiello, and by her brothers, Bruno and Pietro Campisano and sister, Filomena Campisano. Filomena is survived by her children, Pam Kizis (Bill Kearney), Joseph Aiello (Valerie), Peter Aiello (Kathi) and Vito Aiello; grandchildren, Joseph Aiello (Loni), Maria Fazio (Domenick), Matthew Kizis (Jenn), Nicole Aiello (Dylan Latham), Michael Aiello (Morgan), Vito Aiello (Brooke), Salvatore Aiello, Grace Aiello and Alexander Aiello; great grandchildren, Tessa, Gia, Talia and Amelia. She is also survived by her brother, Frank Campisano; sisters, Vittoria Rondinelli (Bruno) and Maryann Fannick (Demetrius); and by numerous loving nieces, nephews and cousins both here and in Italy.
