Vincenza Patriarca

Vincenza Patriarca passed away peacefully on February 5, 2026, leaving behind a legacy rooted in family, tradition, and love.

Born in Terelle, Frosinone, Italy, on February 24, 1934, Vincenza carried her heritage proudly throughout her life. She was the beloved wife of the late Nazzareno Patriarca and a devoted mother to the late Enna (Mike), the late Maria (Antonio), and Ornella (Pat). Her life was centered around her family, whom she supported with quiet strength, devotion, and care.

She was a proud grandmother to Daniel (Vanessa), Paola (Daniele), Sophia (Adrian), Vanessa (Nick), Olivia, Sara, and David, and a deeply cherished great-grandmother to Gabriel, Julian, Ella, Lunden, Baylen, Adriano, Sienna, and Milena.

One of Vincenza’s greatest expressions of love was through her cooking and baking. Her kitchen was the heart of the home, where she lovingly prepared gnocchi, pizzelle, pasta and bean dishes, Italian cookies, and sponge cake. Alongside her husband and family, she proudly carried on cherished traditions of making homemade tomato sauce, wine, and sausage — moments filled with laughter, togetherness, and meaning that will be remembered for generations.

Vincenza will be forever missed by her siblings, extended family, and all who were fortunate enough to share in her warmth, generosity, and steadfast love. Her legacy lives on in the traditions she passed down and the family she held so dear.
