Biography
Ferrante was born in Mdina on 20 August 1925, the daughter of Sir Philip Pullicino, who served as attorney general of Malta.[1] Between 1957 and 1960, she served as the Commissioner of the Island of Malta for the Girl Guides Association.[2]
In 1980, following the death of George Borg Olivier,[3] Ferrante was elected to the House of Representatives via by-election, making her the first female Nationalist Party member to be nationally elected.[4][5] She continued to hold her seat until the next election was held in 1981.[6]
Ferrante lost her husband at an early age, but devoted herself to raising her children Susan Zammit Tabona and Timothy.[3] Ferrante died in Mosta on 5 April 2023, at the age of 97.[7][8]
