Mike DiMauro column on the death of Geno's mother.

RIP Marsiella Auriemma and the greatest work ethic of all

Marsiella Auriemma and her husband, Donato, immigrated in 1961 to Norristown, Pa. from Montella, Italy, a small village south of Naples. The Auriemmas brought three children — Geno, Anna and Ferruccio — and one suitcase.
