Carolina Banto

Carolina (Leva) Banto, 79, of Absecon, passed away peacefully at home with her children by her side on March 5, 2025. Born in Solofra, Italy. She moved to Argentina in her 20’s where she met her husband Desiderio. They came to this country in 1971 and have lived and raised their family in Absecon for 50 years. Carolina and Desiderio would have celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary on March 10 of this year. Carolina spent her career at Tropicana Hotel and Casino for 30 plus years. She loved cooking for her family and being surrounded by loved ones. She was the glue that kept everyone together; the matriarch of her family. Carolina had a light and energy that touched everyone who met her.

Carolina is predeceased by her husband, Desiderio; her parents, Guiseppina and Vincenzo; four sisters, one brother and eldest son, Claudio Banto. She is survived by her children, Nestor Banto, Monica (Thomas) Babecki, and Teresa Banto; her sister, Vincenzina (Alfred and Lisa) Alvino; her grandchildren, Chaz Banto, Jessica Banto, Brandon Banto, Nicole (Matthew) Collins, Tommy Babecki, Michael Licari, Eddie Babecki, and Claudia Banto; her first great-grandchild Mason Collins; her many cousins, nieces, and nephews in Argentina and Italy.
