Claudia Pizzulo Obituary

Claudia Pizzulo

Born: Mar 30, 1947 | Died: Jun 20, 2025

Claudia Ann Pizzulo, 78, of Loudon, Tennessee passed away on June 20, 2025, surrounded by her siblings and loved ones. She was the oldest of five children. Claudia brought joy and light to those who knew her, living a life defined by love, laughter, challenges and an extraordinary spirit. A childhood disease and frequent hospitalizations limited her ability to complete her education, however, Claudia faced the world with a unique perspective. Her open heart taught those around her the true meaning of acceptance and compassion. Her resilience inspired her family, caregivers and friends.

Claudia's presence was a gift to her community, touching countless lives with her quick wit and unfiltered joy. She reminded us to live in the moment. Although she never married, she adored children.

Claudia was preceded in death by her parents Vivian Burke Pizzulo and Francis Pizzulo, and her sister Frances Inez Pizzulo. She is survived by sister Victoria Ferrelli, of Ocala Florida, brother Patrick Pizzulo of Tellico Plains and sister Robin Whitson of Loudon. And many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the administration and staff of River Grove Health and Rehabilitation, who provided Claudia many years of loving care.

The family will receive friends from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, July 8th at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Lenoir City. A Funeral Mass will follow at 11 a.m. She will be laid to final rest with her parents and extended family in Ocala, Florida.

Click Funeral Home, 109 Walnut Street, Lenoir City is in charge of arrangements.
