Marie C. (Cinami) Pecchia

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our mother, Marie C. (Cinami) Pecchia, 87, of Jamestown, RI on 8/21/23. Our mom was always the loudest in the room, but the one with the biggest heart. She greeted everyone with a warm smile and open arms and made friends wherever she went. Her faith was immeasurably important to her as was her family. She attended daily mass before becoming ill. She exercised every day and volunteered at the YMCA, nursing homes, and in her parish. Marie was loved by everyone whose life she touched.

Marie was predeceased by her husband of 49 years, Ralph J. Pecchia; her parents, Angelina (Colavecchio) and Carl Cinami; and her eldest son, Ralph P. Pecchia of Deerfield Beach, FL. She is survived by her son Carl Pecchia and his wife Gail of Jamestown; her son Christopher Pecchia and his wife Tracey of Siesta Key, FL and her daughter-in-law, Mary Baker. Marie has one sister, Barbara Conti. She was the proud grandmother (aka “Gram Cracker”) of Robert Crystal-Ornelas, Lauren Messina, Gianna and Michael Pecchia, and Teshia Unger. She was the great-grandmother of Maverick and Camille Messina, and Wynn, Reve, Elle, and Gabby Unger.

Marie will be remembered most for her positive attitude, her devoted Catholic faith, her love of family, and the way she impacted all those that she met.

Her funeral will be held Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 8:45am from the NARDOLILLO FUNERAL HOME & Crematory – SOUTH COUNTY CHAPEL, 1111 Boston Neck Road, (Rt. 1A), Narragansett followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10am in Saint Mark Church, 60 Narragansett Ave., Jamestown.  Burial in St. Ann Cemetery, Cranston. VISITING HOURS Friday from 4-7pm.  In lieu of flowers, kindly send donations to Continuum Hospice 1350 Division Rd, Suite 205, West Warwick, RI 02893.
