Luriana Randazzo Obituary
Luriana "Lou" Randazzo, 97, of West Wyoming, passed away Wednesday, July 2, 2025, at his home.
Born in West Wyoming, on Oct. 4, 1927, he was the son of the late Vincenzo J. and Nunziata (Arnone) Randazzo.
Lou attended West Wyoming Schools and worked in the mines for several years before joining the U.S. Navy. After serving his country, he worked for Ashley Tool & Dye, Nelson Furniture and Dzurek Lumber. He enjoyed working and retired from Offset Paperback.
He was a member of St. Monica's Parish, West Wyoming, but his heart belonged to St. Nicholas Byzantine Catholic Church, Swoyersville. He greatly enjoyed turning his yard into a floral garden. His pride and joy was his fig tree, which his father brought from Italy.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife of almost 72 years, Mary C. (Chajko) Randazzo, who passed on April 22, 2024; son, Michael Randazzo; brother, Joseph Randazzo; sister, Mary Monahan; daughter-in-law, Kim Randazzo; and son-in-law, Jeff Woodworth.
Surviving are his loving daughter, Lisa Woodworth, with whom he resided; loving sons, Vincent Randazzo (Mary K), Virginia; and Louis Randazzo, West Wyoming; grandchildren, Captain John L. Randazzo (Laura) Naples, Italy; Luciana Pittman (Mike), Virginia; Vanessa Considine (Brett); Kristin Randazzo; and Joshua and Saul Woodworth, West Wyoming; great-grandchildren, Joey and Mia Randazzo, Naples, Italy; Cannon and Finn Pittman, Virginia; and Emma LaBar, West Wyoming.
The office of Christian Burial with Divine Liturgy will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Monday in St. Nicholas of Myra Byzantine Catholic Church, 271 Tripp St., Swoyersville, with the Rev. Father Andrii Dumnych officiating. Interment will follow in the parish cemetery.
Friends may call from 9:30 a.m. to service time. Go directly to the church if attending.

I am so sorry to hear of Lou's passing! I worked with him at Offset Paperback 33 years ago! He was so kind and always smiling. He had his apple everyday. He introduced me to kohlrabi which I had never heard of. He gave me one and it was so crunchy and delicious! I vaguely remember his figs and remember the story. I was a plate checker and Lou made most of my plates on dayshift! You were so lucky to have him in your life!
