Fanny Saffioti, a cherished matriarch and beacon of love and kindness, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2025, in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Born on June 5, 1929, in New York, Fanny's life was a testament to the joy and warmth she brought to every person she met. Her radiant spirit and the love she shared with her family will be deeply missed.

Fanny was the beloved wife of the late Paul Saffioti, with whom she shared a lifetime of memories and a family that was her pride and joy. She was a devoted mother to her sons, Andy Saffioti and his wife Brenda, and Paul Saffioti. Her role as a grandmother to Jennifer Clemendore and Michael Saffioti was one that she cherished with all her heart. She also embraced her step-grandchildren, Sheila Ridinger and Bryan Ridinger, with open arms and unconditional love. Fanny's legacy continued to grow with her great-grandchildren Gianna, Kingston, Nikko, Donald, Michael, Kylie, and Cameron, and she was blessed to witness the birth of nine great-great-grandchildren, who brought her immense joy. She is also survived by her Sister-in-law, Helen Prevost of Port Saint Lucie; Brother-in-law Andrew Saffioti of Long Island; along with many loving nieces and nephews. Family was Fanny's passion.

For over three decades, Fanny poured her passion and talent in a catering business with friends, touching countless lives with her delicious creations and warm hospitality. Her work was not merely a profession but an extension of her love for bringing people together and making every occasion special.

Fanny's interests reflected her zest for life and her love for community engagement. An avid bowler, she enjoyed the camaraderie and friendly competition of the game. She was also known for her exceptional cooking skills, a talent that made her the heart of every family gathering. Her love for playing bingo was another source of pleasure and social connection, often bringing a smile to the faces of her friends and fellow players.

Those who knew Fanny will remember her as the epitome of love, thoughtfulness, and kindness. Her ability to listen with an open heart, offer wisdom with gentle words, and embrace life's moments with gratitude was an inspiration to all. Fanny's presence was a gift to the world, and her memory will continue to inspire those fortunate enough to have felt her love.

Fanny Saffioti's life was a beautiful journey that touched many, and her spirit will live on through the family she adored and the countless lives she enriched. Her passing has left an indelible mark on the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were privileged to know her. As we bid farewell to this extraordinary woman, we take comfort in knowing that her legacy of love and kindness will endure for generations to come.
