Agnesa was born May 6, 1933, in Fontechiari, Italy, the daughter of the late Onorio and Ernestina DiCocco. She was born 6th of their 7 children. In her early 20's Agnesa followed her brother to France where she met her husband, Salvatore Fraioli. They farmed and raised their four children there until following family to the United States in 1972. Residence was established with her little sister’s family in Schenectady until achieving the American dream of home ownership. While raising her family Agnesa worked hard at Ellis Hospital and then Union College in housekeeping where she was able to retire. Glenville became home in the early 90’s.
