Lilabeth S Naccarato

Lilabeth Southam Naccarato was born on February 13th, 1938, to Howard Harold and Bridget Dougherty Southam in Salt Lake City, Utah. She passed away surrounded by loved ones on September 8th, 2021. Lilabeth graduated South High in 1956. She married the love of her life, James (Jim) Naccarato, on May 5th, 1984, in the Cathedral of the Madeleine. They created a beautiful life together, sharing a love of bowling, Wendover, and spending time with their family. Their love for one another was unmatched, and the sorrow in her death is lightened by the knowledge that they are together again.

Lilabeth had two daughters, Tonya and Michele, whom she loved with all her heart; two granddaughters, Talysha (Eddie) and Bridgett, and one great-grandson, Nolan. She loved Jim’s children, Jim, Ron, and Tami, along with several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as if they were her own. Lilabeth is survived by her “book-end” sister, Arlene Erdmann. She is preceded in death by her husband, parents, and three siblings, Howard, Elaine, and Marilyn.

Lilabeth was one of the most resilient women, enduring many health challenges with a beautiful smile and infectious laugh. Her loveliness and charm were matched by her playful banter and quick wit. She spent 23 years working for Wells Fargo and cherished the relationships she made. Lilabeth will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
