Cecilia D. Pieroni, 98, a long-time Providence resident, passed away on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital, North Providence surrounded by her loving family. Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Amato and Emma (Fusco) Iadicola.
Cecilia was predeceased by her loving husband, Albert C. Pieroni. The two were married for 56 years.
Cecilia started her career with the US Rubber Company during World War II, as a secretary. Taking a break while raising three boys, she started her own business of interior decorating “Custom Creations”. She moved, with her husband, for a short time to Lakeland, Florida where she was active in the community participating in many dance recitals and plays. She had a wonderful singing voice and enjoyed “Big Band” era music.
Cecilia was a devout Catholic and prayed daily. She was a parishioner of Saint Pius X for more than 60 years.
Later in life, Cecilia enjoyed family functions and watching her beloved New England Patriots play football. The highlight of every year was spending Christmas Eve with her family, having dinner, opening presents and singing Christmas Carols. Her family delighted in presenting her with little “joke” gifts, all of which she accepted with great humor and love.
She was the beloved mother of David A. Pieroni and his wife Margaret “Maggie”, Louis A. Pieroni and his wife Mary and Edward P. Pieroni and his wife Joan. Cecilia also leaves seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren. She was the sister of the late Anthony Iadicola of New Jersey.
