Christina Panzanella

Christina Panzanella (nee Fogliano) was born on March 24, 1940 and went home to the Lord on August 9, 2018. Christina was the beloved wife of the late Reverend Aldo Panzanella; loving mother of Mark Panzanella (deceased) and Angela Weser (Joseph); daughter of Carmela Fogliano (nee Corea) and Carmelo Fogliano, and sister of Michael Fogliano who all preceded her to their eternal rest; devoted grandmother of, Domenic, Maya & Anthony Weser, and Francesca & Gianna Panzanella; beloved aunt and cousin to many.

Christina graduated from Rocky River High School in 1958 and worked for the federal government until she and her husband Aldo started their family. Christina met the love of her life, Aldo, at their church and they were married on September 2, 1961. They raised their two children in the faith and both Mark and Angela followed their footsteps into ministry. Christina took great pride in Aldo’s work as the pastor of Trinity Assembly of God for more than 41 years. She was the church organist, offered love and care to the congregation during their times of need, and ran the church’s food pantry to benefit the neighbors whose homes surrounded the church. Truly they served in ministry together as a labor of love for God’s glory and honor.

Christina’s life was marked by her love for God, her family, her church, and for the music that filled her heart with praise for God and gratitude for His many blessings. She lived a life worthy of God’s calling as she cared for the poor, sick, lonely, and vulnerable people God placed along her path. Truly it can be said of her, “Well done, good and faithful servant!” The family will receive friends at CRACIUN FUNERAL HOME, 14925 E.
