Sarah “SALLY” Massaro (Hatcher), went to be with the lord in the early morning hours of January 14, 2021 with her daughters by her side.

Sally was full of life and loved hard to everyone she met. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, wife, sister, aunt and friend to many. Her laughter was contagious, and her stories made everyone smile. To know Sally was to love Sally.
Sally was born in Berkeley, CA but called Philadelphia her home. She lived in southwest Philly with her family mother (Florence), father (Attilio), sister (Florence) and brother (Joe). Sally graduated from West Catholic High School for girls and followed a religious calling.
After several years Sally followed another calling back to Philadelphia which led her to meet the love of life Tom. As our dad said, “She was sent to him from the convent like the sound of music”. As a young woman Sally fell in love with Tom a recent widow and his three daughters. From there Tom and Sally added four more daughters to complete the Massaro clan. As a dedicated wife and mother, Sally enjoyed many adventures with Tom. They moved several times and embarked on many trips together, her favorite trip was Italy. Mom was the biggest fan to each daughter and never missed something her girls were doing. Not only did you see her, but you could HEAR her from far away. She was our biggest loudest cheerleader! As her family grew this continued for each grandchild. I know many times it was embarrassing but she never cared because she wanted you to know she was cheering for you to do your best.

The words her grandchildren used to describe Nan were: Spirited, Faithful, Strong, Forever, Exuberant, Caring, Supportive, Sassy, Loving, Generous, Thoughtful, Big Heart, Contagious Joy.
With Sally’s former religious background, she offered considerable value to her church community. As an active member of St. Thomas Aquinas her loss will be felt by many. Mom participated in many bible studies groups, was a eucharistic minister, participated in the RCIA program and other various roles when the church needed her.

Sally was preceded in death by her loving husband Tom and daughter Flo. Sally is survived by her 6 daughters, 15 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

A memorial mass will be held on Tuesday January 19, 2021 at 11AM at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Newport Richey, FL.
Her daughters will also have a celebration of life in early spring in Philadelphia where she will be laid to rest next to her beloved husband Tom and daughter Flo.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made in memory of her daughter to the Flo Massaro future educator scholarship fund: Pasco Education Foundation / Flo Massaro future educator scholarship fund

Family was the most important thing to Sally; she had a larger-than-life personality and will leave unfillable void in the hearts of so many who knew and loved her.
