Olive Susan (Sciuga) Przepiora, 94, of Syracuse passed away peacefeully at home on Sunday, August 15, 2021 surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Syracuse to the late Amedeo and Josephine (Rossi) Sciuga and growing up she helped out at the family business, Sciuga Groceries, in Syracuse.

Olive was a parishioner of St. Patrick’s Church. Above all she loved and cherished time spent with her family and friends. Olive kept the home fires burning – if you needed a place to stay, Olive always took you in. Besides her parents, she is predeceased by her husband, Stanley in 2006. Olive is survived by her children, Josephine Przepiora (Alan Paisley), Stanley M. Przepiora (Judiann Cesta); grandchildren, Susan Micieli- Voutsinas (Jacquelyn), Alexander Przepiora, and Benjamin Przepiora; great-grandchildren, Paisley, Mason, and Julian; a brother, Salvatore J. (Giorgina) Sciuga; along with several nieces, nephews and cousins. A calling hour will take place from 9 – 10 am on Friday, August 20, 2021 at St. Patrick’s Church, 216 North Lowell Ave. Syracuse, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 am in the church. She will be laid to rest with her husband, Stanley in the Onondaga County Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery.
