Christina F. Cardullo, 78, of Northvale, formerly of North Bergen, passed away on Tuesday, March 27, 2018. Beloved wife of Joseph Cardullo. Cherished mother of Frederick Frick and his husband Steven Frear of Hillsdale. Dearest sister of Linda Finkledee and husband David of Manasquan. Loving aunt of Dana, Tara and Daniel.

Christina was a devoted wife and mother……..she had a big heart and helped many people in any way she could, either monetarily or just support. She worked her whole life until she got ill, and even after, she had a strong work ethic and cared deeply about her family and friends. Although not a practicing catholic—she held a passionate place for our Lord in her heart. She had a wonderful, and slightly odd sense of humor—and always saw the other person’s side—whether she agreed or not, always a true diplomat. Christina will be missed in abundance by family and friends

Visitation will be Thursday 11 AM to 1 PM at Pizzi Funeral Home, 120 Paris Ave, Northvale (201-767-3050). A Funeral Service will follow at 1:30 at St. Anthony’s RC Church, Northvale. Entombment Garden of Memories, Washington Twp.

Her family finds comfort knowing that she has been reunited with her husband, the love of her life.
