My heart aches to hear this news about beautiful Cecelia. Way back, my Mama had Peter as a student at RJHS. The two of them had an incredible trust and nobody made her laugh harder.

She was like a mom to me for years. She has helped me in so many ways. I went into labor at her house for my daughter Sarah. I will love and miss you until we meet again. You are the most loving and caring person I have ever met. Love you RIP

Cecelia's Obituary
Cecelia Scannapieco, of Concord N.H. died peacefully at home surrounded by family and friends on September 6, 2025.
Cecelia was born in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn New York, on January 11, 1946. Her parents were John and Angelina DeLiso. She lived most of her adult life in New Hampshire, where she raised her four children: Peter, Angela, Michelle and Brian.
Cecelia dedicated her life to the care of others. In addition to her work as homemaker and mother, Cecelia volunteered with the Concord Police Department to advocate for victims of rape and domestic violence, and for families victimized by homicide. She was on call to take battered women to safe houses. She was a teacher in a halfway house program called Price of Freedom where she helped prisoners learn how to hold jobs, find a place to live, and cope with life outside.
Cecelia is survived by Russell Flanders, her loving partner of 49 years, by her daughters Angela and Michelle, and by her son Brian. She is predeceased by her son Peter. Cecelia had 5 grandchildren: Tyler, Mariah, Jason, Brandon, Matthew, and five great-grandchildren: Rylee, Luca, Carmina, Elliot and Anthony.
She will be missed by her friends, her family, her partner, and by her pet parrot Amadeus. But we will all remember her warmth, her caring, her smile and her sense of humor. She was our compass. She leaves this earth with the love of all who knew her.
