Sylvia Corsi Obituary
Sylvia Conetta Corsi was called home by the Lord on April 30, 2020 after a courageous battle with covid19. She was born in Stamford on July 19, 1935 to the late Jerry and Mary (DaVia) Conetta. Sylvia was a graduate of Stamford High School Class of 1953 and briefly studied at the University of Bridgeport and Fordham before becoming a medical assistant to Dr. Patrick Izzo. After marrying and raising two children she returned to the workforce to serve as a Teacher's Assistant in the Stamford Public School System for many years. In her retirement she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, following sports and politics, and was a lifelong Yankees fan. All that knew Sylvia will remember her outgoing personality and love of her grandchildren.
Sylvia is survived by her children Jay Corsi of Trumbull, CT; Jill (Corsi) Rich and her husband Larry of Stamford, CT; along with her six grandchildren Jaxson, Jacob, Paige, and Payton Corsi; and Colby Rich, Brittany (Rich) Hill and her husband Charlie Hill. She is also survived by her brother Richard Conetta, his wife Michele, and her nephews Brett (Joy), Aaron, and (godchild) Drew (Madelene) Conetta, along with seven great-nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her grandparents Silvestro and Julia (DeVito) Conetta, and Max and Amelia (Del Favero) DaVia, along with a large extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins whom she loved dearly.
It breaks our heart not to be able to gather with our beloved family and friends due to restrictions caused by the current public health situation. As such, a private graveside service will be held in the coming days, however a memorial service in Sylvia's honor will be held at a later date when we can all honor her life together. Rest in the arms of the Lord, Mom. With all our love, until we all meet again.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Sylvia's memory to The Allyson Rioux Memorial Foundation, P.O. Box 17297, Stamford, CT 06907. The Lacerenza Funeral Home is honored to assist the Corsi family with the arrangements. To leave online condolences, please visit www.lacerenzafh.com.

Very saddened to hear of her passing. She was a teaching assistant in my math class with Mr. Giuliani at the alternate high school at Rippowam in the mid 1980’s. She always saw the potential in us students especially when we did not feel good about ourselves. She would bring cookies, gave birthday parties and was so thoughtful. I can’t believe this illness claimed her what a wonderful human being! For how she positively impacted every student, I know she’s with our Lord Jesus Christ. Rest peacefully, Deborah Jeffries Stamford, CT

Hey Syl, finally unpacking boxes after 30 years. Found family photos from when we were young (good times), and a newspaper clipping/photo of you in the Jenny Lind Contest. I remember because I was there watching you. Also remember our trip to NY to see Sinatra at the Paramount. Will never forget, God willing. Thanks for the memories. To the family, eventually, I hope remembering brings a smile and warms the heart.
