Lanette Ginese, (nee Stephanic) age 69 passed away on Friday, May 16, 2025. Beloved wife of Francesco. Loving mother of Antonio Ginese, Adelena Ginese, Stephanie Ginese, Antoinette Ginese and Christina Sivori (John). Cherished grandmother of Alexis, Jeremy, Evan, Zachary, Giovanni, Rocco and John Franco. Great grandmother of Benjamin. Dearest sister of Brenda Pachan (Steve), Bruce Stephanic (Tammy) and the late Mark Stephanic. Aunt, cousin and friends of many.
Boundlessly generous in love and spirit, Lanette is remembered fondly as a moment maker. She made the possibility of the everyday seem infinite. She gave her beloved family and friends countless memories to cherish and smile back on. Lanette loved gathering with her loved ones for fun and new experiences, always snapping a photo on her iPad and making sure everyone knew how special each moment they shared together was. A lively Cleveland Cavaliers fan, she enjoyed taking her children to the games and using her social media to keep up on all things Cavs. Both style and bargain savvy, Lanette passed on a love of thrifting to her daughters. From consignment shops to garage sales, she loved spending the afternoon with her loved ones, browsing discount bins. A growing appetite for education and social change, Lanette was someone who wanted to not just see, but do good in the world. Lanette embodied such a tenacious and caring energy. From sharing a giggle with or at the expense of her dear husband, cheering on her children and grandchildren, being a best friend to her cherished sister - what her family will miss most are these everyday moments filled with her vast warmth and dazzling laughter.
