Cornelia Fiorello

 Cornelia “Connie” Fiorello of Clifton, NJ entered eternal life on December 7th 2024. She was 87. Connie was born in Texas to Ewell and Lucille Simpson. She is survived by her dear sister Mary and niece Meredith. Before retiring, she worked for Unilever in Englewood Cliffs in the customer service group. Connie is pre-deceased by her loving son Hunter Lee and husbands from previous marriages: Hunter, Tom and Sebastian. Other surviving loving members of her family include her stepdaughter Kathleen, stepson Brian, grandson Kevin and granddaughter Coleen and her husband Matthew, Madison, Taylor, Emily, Samuel Fiorello and his wife Catherine, John, David, Benjamin, Christopher, Elizabeth, Irene, Paul, David, Sharon, Michael, and best forever friends Ann Marie, Marilyn, Richard, Martina and Mercy.
 Connie lived a long and exciting life living in many different homes in Texas, Mexico and finally for the longest time in New Jersey where she always said had the best weather. She was highly intelligent and confident. She attended college and even won a beauty contest as a teenager. She was a feisty no-nonsense wife, mother, friend and manager who inspired and supported her family, coworkers and each of her husbands to achieve success in their work and private lives. She had a way about her that fostered close friendships. She wasn’t afraid to express her opinion or give advice. Most recently, she was an answered prayer for Sebastian. Perhaps they saved each other from loneliness and despair. They joyously traveled the world together in their retirement and with her sheer grit and determination for what she cared for, she showed unwavering commitment to him in the latter years of his declining health, exhibiting the true meaning of ‘in sickness and in health’. Her passing one day from the anniversary of Sebastian’s passing was no surprise to those that witnessed their eternal connection. While she’ll be dearly missed, peace is found in her reunion in heaven with her dear son Hunter Lee and all the other family and friends. A memorial visitation will take place on December 14th, 2024, 1pm - 4 pm, Marrocco Memorial Chapel, 470 Colfax Avenue, Clifton, NJ.
