Concetta Gonnella Obituary

Concetta Geraldine "Connie" (Mezzacapo) Gonnella, age 87, of Dyer, Indiana, passed away peacefully on September 19, 2025. She was born on July 20, 1938, in Erie, Pennsylvania, to the late Frank and Helen Mezzacapo.

Connie's life was defined by her faith, her devotion to family, and the traditions she made, which will be continued on by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She built a home filled with warmth, laughter, and love, where everyone felt welcome.

Her kitchen was always the heart of her home. Connie was especially known for her well-loved meatballs, the heart of so many meals and memories, and no one ever left her table hungry. For Connie, meals were never just food - they were an act of love, a way of bringing people together, and a reflection of her deep generosity.

A woman of strong Christian faith, Connie lived her life guided by prayer, devotion, and trust in the Lord. She passed down the values of faith, kindness, and perseverance, and her legacy continues through the lives of those she loved.

To her family, she was everything a mother and grandmother should be - loving, strong, and irreplaceable.
