Sr. Vittoria Graziani, FMA, a native of Castel Viscardo, Province of Terni, Italy, died peacefully Sunday, August 19, 2018 at Metropolitan Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, TX, just shy of her 100th birthday.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Enrico Graziani and Sofia Peparello, 3 brothers and 6 sisters. She is survived by her nephew Paolo Casali and her niece Sr. Paola Casali, FMA and by numerous grand nieces and nephews.

During her 78 years of joyful, missionary, consecrated life, she spent 12 years in missionary formation and evangelizing in Italy, 5 years in New Jersey mastering English and ministering to youth and adults as a catechist.  Sr. Vittoria served in leadership roles for 51 years in California, Louisiana, and Texas and for 10 years in Canada where she also mastered the French language.

When she could no longer be in active ministry, she lived at the Provincial House in San Antonio, TX where she continued evangelizing by word and example to workers in the house and to all visitors.  Her community and all the Salesian Sisters will miss her for her pious demeanor and witty conversations.
