Lucrezia Tesone

Beloved wife of Riziero for 56 years. Loving mother of Giovanni, Franco (Lizette) and Silvana (Larry).

Cherished Nonna of Dylan, Robert, Matthew, Chiara, Rosa and Sara. Bisnonna of Luca. Survived by her sister Carmela (Vincenzo), predeceased by her sister Rosa (Armando), brother Peppino(Ida), brother Michele (Lucia), sister Palmina (Franco), sister Lina (Vittorio). Survived by many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.

She was a woman whose life was defined by kindness, gentleness, and a quiet strength that touched everyone she met. With a warm smile and an open heart, she had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and cared for. Her compassion was not loud or demanding; it lived in small, meaningful acts—listening without judgment, offering comfort without being asked, and giving love freely.

She moved through the world with grace, leaving behind moments of warmth that will never be forgotten. Family, friends, and even strangers were drawn to her calming presence and generous spirit. She believed in the power of kindness and lived that belief every day.

Though her absence leaves a deep ache, her legacy remains in the lives she touched and the love she shared. She will be remembered for her gentle heart, her unwavering compassion, and the quiet light she brought into the world. Her memory will continue to guide and comfort those who were blessed to know her.
