Concetta DiPietro

Connie DiPietro,96, beloved mother, passed away in her sleep on October 25, 2024, leaving a void her family cannot fill. She was born in Brooklyn, New York to Frank and Carmela Gianferrara. Connie and her older sister, Vincenza, grew up in the Carrol Gardens area of Brooklyn. Connie studied textile design and ended up working as a seamstress in the Garment District of Manhattan. She lived her life as a devout Catholic. She met and married John DiPietro in 1954 and settled down in Park Slope Brooklyn to raise a family. Connie was a devoted mother/ grandmother to her three sons and their families. She was a wonderful cook and loved to entertain and feed her growing family. Nothing brought her more joy than listening to opera, reading, attending Broadway shows, dancing with her husband, and maintaining her seamstress skills by altering clothes and creating outfits and costumes for her family. After John retired, they relocated for several years to Florida but ultimately moved back to Brooklyn. Connie and John loved to travel and during their 65 years of marriage, they traveled to Europe, England, Hawaii, and the Caribbean. She regretted that she was never able to travel to Alaska with her husband. Connie was preceded in death by her parents, sister, and beloved husband John. She is survived by her sons Joseph and his wife Kathy, John and his wife Helen, Richard and his wife Antoinette, her grandchildren, Stefani and her husband, Michael Bianco, Christine, Michael, Richard and his wife, Nicole, Victoria and Anthony and his wife, Michelle, and two great-grandchildren, Michael Bianco and Bella Bianco, who will never forget the love she brought to their lives. Connie is also survived by many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the wonderful caring staff at Eger Lutheran Home and Services, Inc, the hospice staff, and her dedicated home care nurse, Miriam Raimondo of Region Care.
