Mrs. Sweeney was born on February 19, 1926, in Little Falls, NY, the daughter of the late Rosina and Michael Volo. Her mother passed away while Carmella was just a baby and was later brought up by her Mother’s sister, Jenne and her husband, James Zito. Mrs. Sweeney was married to Charles H.

Mrs. Sweeney obtained her license to practice Hair Dressing (in the mid 60’s) and operated a business on Green Street, in Herkimer, for many years. Mrs. Sweeney was a very hardworking, steadfast and determined individual who’s influence, gathered from her parents, siblings and husband, was passed on to her Son and Grandchildren. She was a good mother who wanted the very best for her family. She sacrificed for her family and without mothers we would not be here. May God rest her soul. She is one of the people that could make you laugh and cry, her philosophy in life was simple and although she was very opinionated in her ideas, she was generous and compassionate and understanding when you least expected it. Her direct assertiveness and commentary was unique in many ways – she could make you laugh a lot.
