Licciardello, Margherita (LaMartina)
Gates: Thursday, November 13, 2025, at age 90. Predeceased by her husband, Salvatore "Sam" Licciardello; daughter, Grace Capobianco; sister, Gina LaMartina. She is survived by her children, Angelo (Deborah) Licciardello, Silvana Licciardello, Steve (Luisa) Licciardello; son-in-law, Nick Capobianco; grandchildren, Margaret (Melanie) Capobianco, Victoria Capobianco, Salvatore (Marissa) Licciardello, Angelo Jr. (fiancée, Haley) Licciardello, Tiffani Licciardello, Peter (Sarah) Fiannaca, Salvatore Fiannaca, Stephanie (Edwin) Soto & Daniella (Alex) Siracusa; many great-grandchildren; brother, Andrea (Maria) LaMartina; brother-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of a beloved woman whose life was filled with warmth, laughter, and an unwavering love for her family and friends. Margherita was someone who truly came alive in the presence of others and loved chatting proudly about her family and greeting everyone she met with her bright, outgoing spirit. Family meant everything to Margherita, and she was so proud of her four children, nine grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. Her grandchildren will forever cherish their memories of swimming in her pool on summer days, cooking alongside her, and listening to her stories. She had the ultimate green thumb and loved spending time outside in her garden and in the kitchen making her homemade bread, pizza, and cutlets. Margherita was a talented seamstress who enjoyed getting dressed up, going out, and embracing life with flair. Her memory will continue to brighten the lives of all who knew her. Friends may call Thursday, November 20, from 3:00-7:00 P.M. at DiPonzio Funeral Home, Inc., 219 Spencerport Road, Gates. On Friday, November 21, all are invited to attend her Funeral Mass at 10:00 A.M. at St. Theodore's Church. Entombment, Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Theodore's Church, 168 Spencerport Road, Rochester, NY 14606 in her memory.
