She has dedicated 94 years of service to the Catholic Church and resides in Amityville's Queen of the Rosary Motherhouse on Long Island. Piscatella emphasizes the importance of following the good examples set by loved ones and striving to be a saint before reaching heaven. Despite losing her left forearm in a childhood accident, she learned to be self-sufficient and independent.

Overcoming challenges due to her disability, she became a beloved teacher and administrator, impacting the lives of many students throughout her career. Piscatella's unwavering faith, acceptance of God's will, and positive attitude have been key factors in her remarkable journey to 112 years old.
