Dora Giliberto

Dora( Miricchiolo) Giliberto 72, passed away on February 22, 2015. She was the wife of the late Concetto Giliberto, who predeceased her in June 1969. Born December 17, 1942, in Floridia, Italy, she was the daughter of the late Sebastian and Concettina (Carpentieri) Buccheri previously residing in New Britain before settling in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Dora was a member of St. Ann’s Parish in New Britain and was employed and retired by the State of Connecticut, but her greatest passion and dedication was found in caring and raising her three sons whom she loved so deeply, Sebastian Giliberto and his wife Tina of Berlin, Paul Giliberto and his wife Gina of Fort Lauderdale, FL and Claudio Giliberto of Fort Lauderdale, Fl. She touched the lives of so many and is credited with a sense of pride and amazement regarding her ability to do so much for her boys all on her own. She was a strong and dedicated mother who never let a day pass without saying “I love you” to her sons. Dora was also an amazing cook and anyone who had the privilege of tasting Dora’s creations was very lucky to do so. She put her heart in everything she made and her greatest joy was making sure everyone had plenty to eat. She will be dearly missed by so many.

Besides her spouse and children Dora is survived by and will be dearly missed by her eight grandchildren, Jack, Michael and Marisa Giliberto, Alexandra and Joseph Giliberto, Dora and Concetto Giliberto of Italy and Sebby LaBella. Two brothers Giuseppe and Frank Maricchilo of Australia and a sister Pippa Buccheri of Italy. She was predeceased by five siblings Teresa Maricchilo, Mima Buccheri, Antonio Buccheri, Sebastian Buccheri and Salvatore Buccheri. She also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
