Family honors matriarch's 100th with Valentine’s Day Bash BY KATIE PARSONS
VIERA VOICE Jill Gaines
Suntree resident Barbara Facciobene Naples Burt has been a resident of the Space Coast since 1994.
Perhaps the key to longevity is warm weather and living close to family. On Valentine’s Day, Suntree resident Barbara Facciobene Naples Burt will celebrate her 100th birthday with her daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren nearby. An invitationonly event is planned for Feb. 12 at the Suntree Country Club where loved ones from as far as California will celebrate the milestone. Entertainment will be provided by Hot Cocoa, a trio of octogenarians who play songs from the 1930s and 1940s. “The best way I can describe my mom is that she lives, laughs and loves her family and friends,” her only child Kathy Cuccaro said. Born Barbara Facciobene in Youngstown, Ohio in 1917, she grew up with six siblings. Her brother Frank Facciobene is also alive and lives in West Melbourne. Widowed in 1964 when husband Dominic Naples died, she married Donald Burt three years later and moved just south of Cleveland to Campbell, Ohio.
