Born in Buffalo, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Lena (nee Varco) Albanese. She had resided in Kenmore, where she had been an active member at St. Paul R.C. Church and sang in the choir, before moving to the Town of Tonawanda. Mrs. Ventura was very fond of her many friends, and will always be remembered for her "joke book". She was the wife of the late Michael C. Ventura.

Matthew) Brach of South Bend, Indiana; her son, Michael (Beverly) Ventura of the Town of Tonawanda, New York; two sisters, Clara LaBelle of Grand Island, New York and Lucy (Joseph) Tomasulo of the Town of Tonawanda, New York; and a sister-in-law, Alice (late Charles) Albanese of Tonawanda, New York. Also surviving are 9 grandchildren, 3 great-grandsons, and several nieces and nephews.
