Obituary for Eleanor Jean (Thiel) Annunziata
It is with great love and deep sadness that we announce the passing of Eleanor Jean (Thiel) Annunziata, beloved wife of the late Arthur Annunziata - a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose heart and home were the center of her family's world.
Eleanor was the proud mother of five children - Frank, Joseph, Gina Cali, Victoria Proscia, and Natalie Sidarous - and the loving mother-in-law of Barbara Annunziata, Guy Cali, Paul Proscia, and Michael Sidarous. She was the cherished grandmother of eleven grandchildren and the adoring great-grandmother of one.
Known for her innate ability to bring her family together. Eleanor had a special gift for creating the kind of family gatherings that became cherished lifetime memories. Her home was always filled with the aroma of her incredible family-style meals, the sound of laughter, and the warmth of her love.
Loyal and devoted, Eleanor lived for her family and took immense joy in celebrating holidays and milestones surrounded by those she loved most. Her spirit of togetherness, her deep love of tradition, and her unwavering devotion to family will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Eleanor's legacy is one of love, loyalty, and the unbreakable bonds of family - values she instilled in all who were blessed to be part of her life. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.
