Mildred M. Longo (nee Husta) age 100 of Hammonton, NJ, passed away peacefully Friday, January 26, 2024, at her residence. She was born and raised in Egg Harbor City and graduated from Egg Harbor City HS in 1941.
Mildred is predeceased by her husband, Domenic Longo, son, Dennis Longo, brothers, Joseph and Richard Husta, and great granddaughter, Eva Longo. She is survived by her sons, Jeffrey Longo Sr. (Nancy), and Timothy Longo, grandsons, Jeffrey Longo Jr. (Kelly), Matthew Longo (Laura), and Kevin Longo (Angela), and her sister-in-law, Rita Husta. Proud and loving great grandmother of Brett, Emma, Sarah, Megan, Luke, Elena, and James.
Her favorite past time was cheering her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren at sporting events and following them all over the East coast. She enjoyed gardening and cooking and was very proud of her German heritage as she still enjoyed a cold beer at age 100. She was surely a child of depression as she continued her frugal values of that time. She was also a fixture at the Penny Store on School House Lane run by her two aunts and grandmother. Here is where she met the love of her lifetime, Donny. She enjoyed watching figure skating as it brought back memories of when she skated backwards on one leg carving figure eight on the Egg Harbor City and Hammonton Lakes.
