Mourners Pay Tribute to Carlo Gambino's Wife
Federal and city law‐enforcement officers sat in unmarked cars outside a Brooklyn funeral parlor yesterday watching mourners who arrived to pay tribute to Mrs. Kathryn Gambino, the wife of Carlo Gambino, reputed Mafia leader. She died Friday in a hospital after a long illness.
Hundreds of visitors, dressed in conservative black suits and wearing dark ties, jammed into the round foyer at the Cusi mano & Russo Funeral Home, 2005 West Sixth Street, at the corner of Avenue T, to view, the body of Mrs. Gambino.
Death Announced
The family, which received visitors in a chapel adjacent to the foyer, declined to discuss the death, but friend said that Mrs. Gambino had been ill for a long time. The Gambinos lived in a two‐family red brick house nearby at 2230 Ocean Parkway.
The death of Mrs. Gambino was announced simply by the family in paid advertisements over the weekend in daily newspapers.
She was said by neighbors at the Ocean Parkway house to have been very quiet, much like the other matronly women in the neighborhood. The tree lined block is made up of two‐ family brick homes, with Italian and Jewish families.
The Gambinos also own a $100,000 waterfront mansion at 34 Club Drive, Massapequa, L. I., but Mrs. Gambino was known to have preferred the Ocean Parkway residence, which is spacious.
At the funeral home yesterday, Gambino was joined by his daughter, Mrs. Phyllis Sinatra, and three sons, Thomas, Joseph and Carl, in the chapel containing the coffin. There are also 11 grandchildren surviving.
Thomas, the oldest son, is married to the daughter of the, late Gaetano Luchese, who was head of another New York Mafia family until his death in 1967.
While it was known for some time that Mrs. Gambino was ill, most of those who knew the family showed more concern for Gambino, who has had a heart condition for many years. His ailment has prevented the Justice Department from enforcing a 1967 order that he be deported because he illegally entered the country in 1921 from Palermo, Sicily.
At the funeral chapel late yesterday, guests were carefully scrutinized by the police as they climbed the concrete stairs to the main entrance.
The police, wearing civilian clothes, sat in unmarked cars on West Sixth Street. No uniformed policemen were seen in the area.
A Mass of Resurrection will be celebrated at 10 A. M. today for Mrs. Gambino at Our Lady of Grace Roman Catholic Church. 430 Avenue W. Brooklyn.
