Rita Fiscarelli Obituary

Fiscarelli, Rita
GILBERT, Ariz. - Rita Fiscarelli passed on April 17, 2023. Born January 24, 1940, in Albany, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Mary Fiscarelli.
She was predeceased by her beloved brothers, Nicholas, Carlo, and Anthony. Survivors include her sisters, Connie Tunny and Rosemarie Pawlewski; several nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
Rita's special gift was her spirit of caring and giving which she freely gave to all who knew or needed her, and she was always the life of the party. She never had any children but loved her nieces and nephews like they were her own. We were so blessed to have her a part of our lives.
Family and friends are invited to attend a funeral Mass at Mater Christi Church, 40 Hopewell Street, Albany, NY, on May 25 at 10 a.m.

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

Aunt Rita was so special. She was always smiling, thoughtful, and caring. She was a joy to be around. She is having a party with all of her loved ones in heaven now. :-)
