Her grandmother, Mama Teresa DiVendra of Weymouth, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews with whom she shared close relationships with.

Vanessa loved music and you could often find her with her headphones on singing along loudly. Spending time with family and friends was her greatest joy. She will always be fondly remembered for her infectious laughter, and her enormous loving heart.
