By 1975, Scamardella was married to Mike Pesce, then a New York State Assemblyman for the 52nd Assembly District. They married sometime after his 1972 election into office. Pesce became an administrative judge in the 1990s, in the Brooklyn Civil Court system, later leaving that post. By 1999, when Pesce signed a restraining order against the New York City transit union in case of a strike, he and Scamardella had been divorced for some time and had a daughter, Vanessa, who was then a senior at Georgetown University. In 1996, Pesce's fiancee, Bonnie Wolters, had been among those killed in the crash of TWA Flight 800 off Long Island.

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Bondage is the life of personality, and for bondage the personal self will fight with tireless resourcefulness and the most stubborn cunning.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“If society gives up the right to impose the death penalty, then self help will appear again and personal vendettas will be around the corner.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
