Funeral Services Set for Woman Killed in Ronkonkoma Crash

On Wednesday, the community will remember 19-year-old Andrea Giattino, a 2010 graduate of Ward Melville High School who was killed in a head-on car crash Saturday night in Ronkonkoma, as a unique, artistic, and caring person.

Since Saturday, a Facebook page established in Giattino's memory has been flooded with dozens of posts sharing thoughtful sentiments and song lyrics, emotional goodbyes and well wishes for the young woman's family from peers and other members of the community.

Giattino's wake is set for Wednesday at from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., with a funeral Mass on Thursday at 10 a.m. at Saints Philip and James Church in St. James and burial at Cedar Hill Cemetery.
