Cecilia DuPont Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 15, 2025.
Cecilia (Luongo) DuPont passed away on February 12, 2025 with her family by her side. Cecilia is survived by her loving husband Westley Levonian, her son Andrew DuPont and his wife Andrea Pereira DuPont, her granddaughter Gabriela Pereira DuPont, her daughter Lauren Napoli, and her brother Stephen Luongo and his wife LouAnn Luongo. Cecilia DuPont was born on November 7, 1952 in Philadelphia to Hon. Alfred L. Luongo and Dorothy (West) Luongo. Cecilia was a bridge master and avidly played the crossword puzzles in the daily paper. Taking rides with her husband Wes in his t-bird and watching her granddaughter Gabi perform were two of her greatest joys. She was passionate about her Eagles and Phillies and enjoyed her flowers and watching birds. She overcame every challenge with a smile on her face. She is profoundly missed by her family and friends.

We have been the neighbors of Cecilia and Wes for 15 years. Our children always stopped at their house first on Halloween because they hand out full-size candy bars. We are sad to hear of Cecilia's passing and our thoughts are with your family at this time.

Cecilia was a wonderful next-door neighbor. She always had a smile on and loved seeing my children and dog, Chester. Sasha loved to dance and sing for Cecilia. We will miss her very much.

Passing the Philadelphia Zoo Balloon on Kelly Drive on the way to your house sitting in the car seat, eating cereal out of a ziplock bag in your living room while I played with dolls and watched movies. Also waiting for you to get your hair and nails done when I was being babysat by you while Mom and Dad were at work. Making Christmas cookies with you until the end. Always Always Always getting so spoiled during Christmas. Walking around your house as you explain where all the knick knacks come from and the contents of my Dads bedroom. Walking on the boardwalk with you and Wes, always stopping for Ice cream at Ritas, and Pizza at Manco & Manco. Dinners at your house on Sundays. When you got drunk on our first Christmas Eve at our house. Your beautiful cards and handwriting. That one time I was really struggling in college and you could tell so you stayed on the phone with me for almost an hour and I cried outside my favorite Deli in NYC because I felt so held by you. Our phone calls. Our literary analysis' discussions on all the plays you read that I recommended you. You almost read them all. I just wanted to give you something to fill your endlessly still days with some magic. I hope they did.

Writing my name or the date with honey in the rice crispies every morning. Birthday chicken. Plastic kid pools behind the house in Roxborough. Feeding the ducks at Valley Green. Dinner at Grandmom Luongo's on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays with a week's worth of sauce, meatballs, sausage and roasted peppers to go. Motels down the shore. That trip to Arizona when we were young. Summer nights sitting outside and talking with Uncle Jack, Aunt Rae and the rest of the neighbors on Wigard Ave. The old green prune juice bottle that we used as a water bottle so long that the cap rusted through in two places, and we kept using it. Green carpets, the mirror wall, orange and red striped wallpaper, avacado kitchen appliances, plaid couches and everything about Wigard Ave. Trips to Clover and the Fotomat in the Andorra Shopping Center. You cleaning up the house for birthday parties. Me getting in trouble for putting red pepper flakes in the salad for one of those parties. Trips to the Dickens Christmas Village at Wannamaker's. You endlessly putting patches on the knees and elbows of countless outfits I ruined playing sports and roughhousing. Oh those outfits you had me in. Decorating the Christmas tree with the Kornbergs. Playing whiffle ball. End of summer vacations in Sea Isle City. Cheesesteak hoagies at Chubby's. Watching the birds and the Phillies with you and Wes. Christmas cookies, sooooo many Christmas cookies. Purple shirts. Waiting while you got your hair and nails done every week. You on the sidelines for all of those baseball and soccer games. You and Wes coming to Maceio. Your flowers and your hummingbirds. Your perfect handwriting. You holding Gabi as a baby and watching her performances when she grew older.
