Paula Wright-Tirocchi Obituary

Wright-Tirocchi, Paula
August 15, 1938 to December 17, 2013. Paula Wright-Tirocchi was survived by her husband the "love of her life" Frederick Tirocchi; her step-children: James Tirocchi, his wife Valerie, their grandchildren and great grandchildren; Sharon Tirocchi-Hulzing and her husband Edward: Richard Tirocchi, their granddaughter Breanne Monteith and great grandchild Nevaeha; Diane Tirocchi-Eastman and her husband Mark; and Lynda Tirocchi. She was also survived by her sister Marcia Imber; nephew Jeffrey Imber and his wife Lynda; her niece Amy Williams and their children, her many friends that she considered family and her constant furry companion Casey. She loved her family and friends deeply; especially her soul mate Fred Tirocchi. Their marriage is an example to all of the love, respect, kindness, generosity and a deep emotional bond that will survive any obstacle. Paula will enter heaven as one of God's angels. She will have already set-up her kitchen and she is prepping other angels to be her Sous chefs. We will honor you by preparing all of your wonderful dishes, sharing your lifelong lessons and remembering your gracious strength. Your family loves you very much. The celebration/memorial will be on January 4th at 2:00pm at Sierra Pines at Sun City Roseville 7600 Whistle Stop Way, Roseville, CA.

Heart sister, colleague and awesome coach--Paula was all that and MORE long ago when I was Director of employment, DEC, AZ. And later, when I started my consulting practice she encouraged me to the maxx! I miss her guidance --and Fred's, too. Blowing kisses, saying memorial kaddish. Love, Peace.

Oh, Paula you and Fred were the voices of support and encouragement when long ago, I was the Recruiting Director at DEC, Union Hills. I learned so much from you! And now that you're in God's kitchen, I look forward to cooking up some yummies with you when I get "home." In the meantime, I bet our treasured friend Trent and my dear son Gus are sous-chefing for you!

Darling Fred, I "felt" someone very special leave in December..very, very special. You and Paula were great lights in my life--of encouragement, support, mentorship and friendship. I'm blowing kisses into the WILD LIME YONDER and sending prayers of comfort and compassion. I'm so glad that you had the extraordinary joy and delight of each other. Love always, Jackie Awerman/[email protected]
