Chiara Forte

Chiara Raimondo
1919 – 2014

It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of Chiara Forte (née Raimondo) at home in New Ross, Ireland, last night.

Originally from Bari, she married Elio Forte from Mortale in 1942 and, together, they have lovingly raised a wonderful and close family in the Waterford, Wexford and New Ross areas of Southern Ireland.  She was a very special person, who will be missed by all, but especially by her dear husband, Elio, and the families of all their children Teresa, Tella, Bice, Giovanni, the late Francesca, Tony and Gilda, including their 13 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.  Condolences also to Chiara’s family from Bari, many of whom are well known in Mortale.
