some amazing successes over the years. You just have to believe in them and help them become the best person they can be,” she offers. Losinno’s philosophy has made a difference to thousands of area families, and many have taken notice of her contributions. In spring 2006, Losinno was honored with the Holy Family University Alumni Achievement Award, which was presented by colleague and fellow alumna, Mindy LederhandlerLutts ’95. Her Holy Family alumni-colleagues at SPIN nominated her for the award. Losinno also is the Immediate Past Chairwoman of the Board of Directors for the Pennsylvania Association of Resources for People with Mental Retardation (PAR), a statewide association of providers of community services for people with mental retardation. During her downtime, Losinno unwinds at the family’s vacation home in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, and treasures time with her two grandchildren, Ethan, age 8, and Sophia, age 5. She’s also an avid quilter and fiction enthusiast. Her current literary interest is Ian Mcewan’s Atonement; The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini will follow. When asked to reflect on her enduring ties to Holy Family University, Losinno smiles. “When I was given the alumni award, it struck me at the time: S. Francesca wrote something about tenor votis. If I had a personal motto, it would be that. My obligations are what motivate me.”
