In loving memory of Paula Monte

Donation protected
Paula Cora Monte, known for her wit, style, Italian cooking, and DIY interior design, made her exit on April 8th due to the COVID-19 virus.
 
Paula was born to Barbara and Sebastian Monte in Forest Hills, Queens. She met her first husband, Justin Terzi Jr. on Makamah beach in Northport while visiting friends. Sparks and summer love turned into marriage. They settled in Westbury where they raised 3 children.
 
Shopping at her favorite stores: Bonwit Teller, Lord & Taylor, and others, Paula was often asked for her autograph with people thinking she was Sophia Loren.
 
There was a second marriage to Suffolk County detective, Edward Sanchez that lasted as long as the first.
 
Those left waiting in the wings are children: Bobbi Terzi and Justin Terzi III; grandchildren: Zachary Bamberger, Luciano Bagan and Daniella Bagan and countless loving cousins, for some reason many of them named Paul, Paula, Paulette, Paula Marie and others.
 
Preceding Paula was her daughter, Lucia Terzi Bagan; brother, Theodore Monte; stepmother, Frances Monte and Bonwit Teller.
 
Due to current conditions a service cannot be planed. A memorial service will be held on a beach (to be decided) later this summer.

Money is needed to pay for cremation expenses ASAP. Any additional funds will be decided between Paula’s 2 remaining children: Bobbi and Justin Terzi.
