Wethersfield Obituary: Lidia DiCioccio, 69

Lidia (Iacobucci) DiCioccio, 69, of Wethersfield, beloved wife of Quintino DiCioccio for 50 years, passed away peacefully August 9, 2016, at home with her loving family and friends by her side.

Lidia was born on January 30, 1947 in Pratola Peligna, province of L’Aquila, Italy and was the daughter of the late Giovannino and Lucia (Presutti) Iacobucci. Lidia retired from Hartford Hospital in 2009 and during her years of service she was known as the “sunshine” of the mailroom by all who knew her.

Lidia could always be found in her kitchen baking her delicious cookies, pizzellas being her specialty, or she was busy cooking a delicious meal for her family and friends. If you walked into her house, there was always room for one more at the table. Although Lidia’s true devotion was to her family, she was a loving wife, mother and grandmother who will be dearly missed.

In addition to her husband, Lidia leaves behind her son Mario DiCioccio and his wife Gloria of Wethersfield, daughters Diana Lombardo and her husband Robert of Rocky Hill and Lisa Mirabelli and her husband Peter of Wethersfield. She also leaves her beloved grandchildren; Brittney DiCioccio, Ryan Lombardo, Carla Sofia DiCioccio, Michael Violette, Amber Lombardo, Lidia DiCioccio, Alyssa Mirabelli and Peter J. Mirabelli, IV. Lidia also leaves her brothers Liberato Iacobucci of Wethersfield and Gino Iacobucci of Rocky Hill. She also leaves many nieces, nephews and many dear friends. In addition to her parents, Lidia was predeceased by her brother Domenico Iacobucci and her sister Pasqualina D’Alessandro.

Funeral services will leave Friday August 12th at 9:15 a.m. from the D’Esopo Funeral Chapel, 277 Folly Brook Boulevard, Wethersfield followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. in the Church of the Incarnation, 544 Prospect St., Wethersfield. Entombment will follow at Cedar Hill Cemetery, Hartford. Calling hours will be held Thursday August 11th from 4-7 at the funeral chapel.
