Obituary

Dina Mastromauro (née Mezzina), 83, of Hoboken, NJ, entered into eternal life on September 15, 2025, surrounded by her loving family in her home. She fought the battle of being diagnosed with Glioblastoma in November 2023.   Predeceased by her beloved husband Giovanni (2018).  Loving mother of Antonio and Michael Mastromauro, Maria Senatore and her husband Thomas.  Cherished grandmother of Joseph and Gabriella Senatore.  Dear sister of Anna Paparella.  Also survived by a host of nieces and nephews, near and far.  Predeceased by her brothers Cosmo and Luigi Pellegrini, and her sisters, Damania DeGioia and Dorotea Rotondo.

Dina was born in Molfetta, Italy to Lucrezia (née LaForgia) and Michelle Mezzina.  She emigrated to the United States in 1955, settling in Hoboken, and was a seamstress in the garment industry for many years.

Dina was a devoted member of the Saint Ann Padre Pio Prayer Group and the Devotees of La Madonna dei Martiri.  Her steadfast presence in prayer and celebration reflected a life rooted in faith, love, and humility.  May her spirit continue to inspire all who gather in these sacred traditions, and may her memory remain a blessing to the community she so deeply cherished.

Visitation Saturday, September 20, 2025, 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM at the Failla-McKnight Memorial Home, 533, Willow Avenue, Hoboken.  Funeral Mass to follow at 10:30 AM St. Ann’s R.C. Church, 704 Jefferson Street, Hoboken.  Dina will be entombed with her husband at Holy Cross Mausoleum 340 Ridge Road, North Arlington.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Dina’s memory to the Saint Ann Padre Pio Prayer Group, the Devotees of La Madonna dei Martiri, or St. Jude.  Supporting these beloved groups is a meaningful way to honor her deep devotion and continue the traditions she held so close to her heart.
