Palma A. Bubba, 86, passed away on Tuesday, March 2, 2021 in the home she lived in for 63 years in the South Side Easton neighborhood she lived in all her 86 years.

She was born in Easton, PA, a daughter of the late Anthony Salerno and Margaret (Vacaro) and Richard Frey.

Palma's happiest moments were when she was with her loving husband Russell of 61 years, who died in 2015, and her family. Picnics and holiday dinners were a treasured time in her household. Palma also loved spending time in her little yard, fussing with flowers and watching birds fly in and out of the bird bath. If the weather was nice, Palma could be found sitting on the back porch. In later years, seeing her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought much joy.

Palma worked as a seamstress in various facilities on Easton's South Side before retiring to enjoy life. She and her husband enjoyed many adventures on cruise ships, often with her children in neighboring cabins.

A member of St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church, Palma was active in the St. Mary's Altar and Rosary Sodality, serving as President. She spent many years helping out at the annual St. Mary's Bazaar and other church fundraisers. She also was a member of the Golden Age.

Palma is survived by three children: Nancy-Jo Bruno and husband Anthony of Bethlehem Twp., Kathy-Jo Frantz and husband Craig of Schnecksville, and Russell E. Bubba and wife Jennifer of Quakertown; a sister Rosemary Fetterman of Lewes, DE; grandchildren Dante Bruno, Anthony Bruno, Dr. Sandi-Jo Peterson, Santo Galati, Tyson Frantz, Adam Frantz, Dion DiRocco, Logan Blair, and Melissa DiRocco; great-grandchildren Gianna Bruno, Ayden Brown, Kylee Brown, Aiden Peterson, Owen Peterson, Zoe Peterson,  Lucas Galati, Milo Galati, Grayson Langon and Amelia DiRocco.

Friends and family are invited to attend the Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday, March 6, 2021 at 10:30 am in St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, 9 ^th & Lehigh Streets, Easton. Entombment will be private.
