Graziana Lazzarino

So sorry to hear of your passing dear friend Graziana. I still have all your wonderful recipes from cooking with you as well as Dr. Luigi Romeo in your cabin up in Coal creek canyon. Love you dearly and rest well

I was a student at CU Boulder in the late 70s and Graziana Lazzarino was my Italian professor. Her classes were always fun and engaging (I wonder how many students still remember her singing "un automobile, due automobili"? She had tricks to help you remember tricky grammar rules!). After 2 years of several of her classes, I asked her about possible jobs for students in Italy in the summer. She said that lots of young women would go to Italy and work as an "au pair" for the summer and she...

What a vivacious woman! I had the pleasure of learning to jitterbug dance with Grace at Jitterbug Joe's free school class in the 1980's. I made dinner for her several times even though I completely mangled the pronunciation of the Italian dishes I was making (gnocchi in particular). She truly loved life and all it's pleasures. Bless you Graziana, dance with the stars.

We regret Gracie´s passing and that it was not possible to help her enjoy the last several years of her life. We thank Kent for his devotion and friendship for Gracie when she needed it the most. We were blessed to know and associate with this amazing person

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Graziana. I took several of her Italian classes at CU. Not only was she a wonderful educator, but a caring human being as well. Always encouraging, always welcoming. She touched my life and I know she made an impression on other students and the Boulder community.
