Sara M. (Piraino) Urciuoli's Obituary
Sara M. (Piraino) Urciuoli, of DeWitt, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, October 8, 2024 at the age of 93. Sara, christened Rosaria Maria, was born to the late Peter and Lena (Nomifermo) Piraino and graduated from Eastwood High School. She went on to marry her sweetheart, the late Domenic Urciuoli who passed away in 2023 after 73 years together.
Sara was very active in sports and enjoyed tennis, water skiing, and bowling for most of her life, and loved to travel. She was also an accomplished artist, but her enduring passion was cooking for her family and the many guests her and Domenic entertained over the years. Sara’s vibrant personality would lift any room, and she could strike up a conversation with anyone she met. Her sense of humor, common sense, and honesty will be greatly missed.
Sara leaves behind her children, Rick (Kandy) Urciuoli, David (Nancy) Urciuoli, and the memory of her loving daughter, Patricia Harlambides who passed away in 2003; her son-in-law, Stacey (Martine) Harlambides; six grandchildren; Nicholas Harlambides (Kristina), Jennifer Townsend (Ted),Elizabeth Cominoli (Michael), William Urciuoli (Laura), Sara Urciuoli (Molly Kocher), David Urciuoli (Christine), seven great-grandchildren; Myles & Max Harlambides, Henry & Georgia Townsend, Oliver Cominoli, Olivia & Henry Urciuoli, along with several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
The family would like to extend special thanks to the caregivers, Julia, Maegan, Valida, and many others for their tireless compassion and care for Sara and especially to Kandy, for all the years of care for both Domenic and Sara.
A graveside service will take place at 11:00 A.M. on Friday, October 18, 2024 in St. Mary’s Cemetery, DeWitt.
Donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association of Central New York, 5015 Campuswood Dr., Suite 102, East Syracuse, NY, 13057.
