PORSHA RIGGIO Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Strunk Funeral Homes and Crematory - Vero Beach on Aug. 27, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Known for her love of all things nautical, Porsha loved the ocean and boating. Porsha Marie Riggio, 38, of Guilford, CT, died while on vacation in Florida of a motor vehicle accident on August 20th, 2025, along with her partner, Brian.

She was born in West Haven, CT on June 22nd, 1987, to Anna Marie Riggio (Caprio) and Salvatore Riggio. She attended East Haven High School before attending Gateway College. Porsha most recently worked at Robinson Aviation.

Porsha met the love of her life, Brian, in 2018. They enjoyed vacationing together and spending time with family and friends.

Porsha will always be remembered for her zest of life and the way that she made the "Porsha face" in pictures. We'll always imagine hearing her say "Hi sissy!" to her sister Cristina one more time. Porsha will be missed every day. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her.

Porsha is survived by her parents, Anna Marie Riggio and Salvatore Riggio (Jeannie), her sister Cristina (Jillian) and nephews George and Christian. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins.

A memorial in Connecticut will be planned for a future date.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
