Born in Brooklyn, NY to Sebastian and Theresa Fasano, Fanny spent most of her early childhood in upstate New York where she attended a a school in Milton which was only one room, each row of the class it's own grade. She moved back to Brooklyn in her teenage years and lived with her grandmother, honing her skills as a beautician. She married the love of her life Edward Castagna on February 15th 1942, and they raised their three children in Brooklyn. Later, she and Edward moved around, ending up in Rhode Island before finally settling in Florida in the early 80's, where Fanny was determined they would enjoy themselves.

Fanny was a vibrant, positive woman who touched so many lives. She was loved by everyone she touched with her tenacious spirit and class. Fanny always had a smile, that positive attitude never left her no matter what she was doing. From making ceramics to knitting, Fanny always had her hands in a Hobby- she wanted to be busy. She loved taking Bus trips and Cruises and Vacations anywhere she could manage to go; she loved Traveling. Her family remembers her fondly, and she will be dearly missed.
