Tax ID: 93-0906778 In Memory of Pina ToppinoWe are deeply saddened to share the news that Pina Toppino, a longtime friend in Alba, passed away on Monday, July 1st, at the age of 92.
Pina played a significant role in the Medford-Alba Sister City Program for over 50 years. She served as president of Alba’s Sister City Committee for several years and was a gracious host to many Medford visitors. Pina always ensured visitors had a special and memorable time in Alba, and she continued welcoming guests from Medford until her health declined a few years ago. Pina was instrumental in starting the informal and later formal student exchanges between our two cities over 40 years ago. She collaborated closely with Medford’s Scott Spiegelberg, Liz Smith, and Nancy Collins to initiate and develop the thriving student exchange program that continues today. In 1992, Pina, along with Nancy and Liz, represented the Medford-Alba Sister City Program at an event in Washington, D.C. Pina loved the Medford Alba connection and created many long-lasting friendships between our two cities. She will be deeply missed, but she leaves behind a wonderful legacy, and her spirit will continue to live on in our Sister City Program. Over 60 Years & Going Strong!
