Carol L. Alessi, a beacon of love and laughter, passed away peacefully on August 11, 2025, at the age of 82 in Trinity, Florida. Born on October 26, 1942, in Buffalo, New York, Carol was a woman whose life was defined by her unwavering kindness, her infectious humor, and her deep devotion to her family.

Carol's early years in Buffalo were filled with the warmth of a close-knit family, including her late parents, Emily and Gerhard Chrzanowski, and her late brother, Norbert Chrzanowski. It was here that she cultivated the values of compassion and joy that would touch everyone she met throughout her life. Carol's journey led her to the love of her life, her late husband, John Alessi, with whom she built a legacy of love that would endure through generations.

A loving mother to her three children, Scott Alessi (Carolyn), Kevin Alessi (Donna), and Jolene Chapman (Scott), Carol instilled in them the importance of family, laughter, and kindness. Her role as a mother was one she cherished deeply, and she embraced every moment with grace and humor. Carol's legacy continued to flourish with the birth of her seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, who became the light of her life. She was a constant presence at school plays, sports events, and family gatherings, always ready with a smile and words of encouragement.

Carol's life was marked by her ability to find joy in the simple pleasures. Her laughter was contagious, and her sense of humor brought light to even the darkest of days. She was the kind of person who never met a stranger, and her kindness was felt by all who had the pleasure of crossing her path.

As we say goodbye to Carol, we celebrate a life well-lived, a heart well-loved, and a legacy that will continue to inspire. She was a woman who taught us the power of love, the joy of laughter, and the beauty of kindness. Carol's memory will be cherished and kept alive in the stories shared by her family and the countless lives she touched.

In her passing, Carol leaves behind a family that adores her and a community that respects her. She will be deeply missed by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all who were fortunate enough to know her. Carol L. Alessi's spirit will forever remain a guiding light, reminding us to embrace life with love and laughter. Her journey on earth may have ended, but her story will continue to be told by those who loved her most. Rest in peace, dear Carol, until we meet again.
