Juliet Nora Anne Gardini (nee Prioreschi)

Juliet Nora Anne Gardini (née Prioreschi) a longtime resident of Chardon, OH, passed away October 30, 2016 at the age of 96. She was the daughter of immigrants from Italy, Alessio and Giovanni (née Cattani) Prioreschi. Beloved wife of Hugo Romeo Gardini (deceased); loving mother of Edward (Miki) Gardini, Raymond Gardini, and Dolores (Jim) Scozzie; dearest grandmother of Michael Gardini, Chris (Barb) Scozzie, Nicole (John) Dehner, Cassandra (Tom) Hallet; cherished great-grandmother of six. Loving sister to her 9 siblings who preceded her in death: Angelo, Anthony, Charles, Louis, Romeo-her twin, Eugene, Mary, Ernestine, and Rose. She grew up in East Cleveland and attended Shaw High School. Despite growing up during the depression and World War ll, Juliet was ever the optimist, and she believed it took only one Prioreschi to have a party. One can only imagine what it was like when all ten siblings were under the same roof at the same time. She was a fun and loving aunt, great aunt, and friend to many. Her life revolved around her family. She will be remembered for that love of family, her sense of humor and her enjoyment of life which included much cooking, laughing, singing and dancing. Juliet had a quiet and strong faith. She believed in the power of prayer and was devoted to praying the rosary. She also loved playing the lottery, bingo and an occasional trip to the casinos. Juliet was fiercely independent and was blessed with a very strong work ethic, working at many jobs in her long life, the last being thirteen years as a school crossing guard. Juliet was 84 when she retired from the South Euclid Lyndhurst School District. She will be missed by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, many nieces, nephews and grand -nieces and -nephews. Funeral mass will be 9:30 am Monday November 7, 2016 at St. Gabriel Catholic Church 9925 Johnnycake Ridge Rd., Concord Twp. Please meet at the church. The family will receive friends from 2-4 pm Sunday November 6, 2016 at Brunner Sanden Deitrick Funeral Home & Cremation Center, 8466 Mentor Ave., Mentor, Ohio, 44060. Interment will be at All Souls Cemetery, Chardon. Her family requests in this time of mourning that in lieu of donations prayers be offered on behalf of Juliet's soul that her new chapters created for her in death are even more remarkable than those here on earth had been. In lieu of flowers buy a lottery ticket in memory of Juliet (enjoy any winnings), raise a glass or two of wine to salute and celebrate her long journey, or recognize Juliet's greatest strength, that of love of family, by calling a family member to tell them you love them..
