She is survived by daughter Alicia Daly and her husband, Mike, of Hawthorne; her mother, Susan DeSisto of Brick Township; granddaughter Ashley Rowett and her husband, Anthony, of Semmes, Ala.; two great-grandchildren, Anthony Paul Rowett III and Landry James Rowett; brother Eric DeSisto and his wife, Camille, of Manchester Township; and her loving grandpuppy, Yogi.
