Our Story

Prudence, Guy and Jean had their own special way of making their marinara sauce and I drew on all three to develop and create my own recipe drawing on the best of their ingredients. The one special thing they each had in common in preparing and making their marinara was LOVE!! My grandmother, yes I’m being possessive here because she’s always treated me as if I were her granddaughter, and Anthony’s parents, Guy and Jean inspired me to not only use the best quality of ingredients in my marinara but to also prepare it with LOVE! For Anthony and me, our love in preparing our marinara is derived from Prudence, Guy and Jean in honoring the history and traditions surrounding family and times spent around the dinner table!! Our love is also derived in passing “Marinara Gal” legacy to our four children Michael, Kristen, Vincent and Amanda!

I am extremely humble and grateful to Prudence, Guy, Jean, and Vernon for their influence, guidance and support to Anthony and me. We love and appreciate you very much. Sadly, I lost my mother, Ellen, in 2006, Anthony’s father, Guy, in 2009, our grandmother Prudence, in 2014, and my father Vernon in 2019. Anthony and I dedicate “The Marinara Gal” to their memory.
