Philomena was born to the late Rocco and Rose Compitello on February 10, 1917 in White Plains, N.Y. She married Michael Belmont on November 22, 1942 at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in White Plains. As an active member of the West Harrison Community she was involved with the Senior Citizens, St. Anthony’s Fiesta Committee. Philomena and her husband Michael were proprietors of Lake Farms Market where she welcomed everyone with a big smile and helped many immigrants acclimate successfully into the community. Her greatest joy was her treasured family and having them come to her home for the holidays as well as Thursday night dinners which always included her famous meatballs, eggplant and chicken parmigano. When asked for her recipes, her answer would always be, “made with Love”.
