Pietrina DiVittorio Graffia, of Ponchatoula, LA, passed away Saturday, February 19, 2022, at North Oaks Hospital in Hammond, LA.   She was 85 years old.  Pietrina was the only daughter, and last legacy of Frank and Catherine Schillaci DiVittorio of Independence, LA, immigrants from Sicily, Italy.  Pietrina, affectionately known as Aunt B to some, or Pat to others, was a loving wife to her husband of 51 years Tony Graffia.  They enjoyed everyday life activities and were always together.  She is also survived by brother-in-law, Salvatore Graffia & wife Janie, sisters-in-law, Olivia DiVittorio and Norma Jean DiVittorio.  Although Pietrina had no children of her own, her greatest pleasures were most likely at family gatherings with her nieces and nephews and their children.   Surviving nephews and nieces include Jason, Sammy, and Ryan Graffia; Frank (Donna) DiVittorio, Jeanne (Shaan) Rube,  Caroline (Rick) Priest,  Dr. Roy (Kim) DiVittorio;  Lisa (Mark) Camelo; Frank DiVittorio, Sammy (Marcie) DiVittorio.  Pietrina was a devout Catholic and no doubt will be welcomed by the Lord to her new home in heaven where she will be joined by her parents; brothers, Roy J., Dan J., and Tony J. DiVittorio; niece, Denise; and nephew Danny DiVittorio.  There will be a graveside service at 10:00 AM, Wednesday, February 23, 2022, at Colonial Mausoleum, Independence , LA.
