Our precious mother Cecelia "Sis" Garfoli, 66, of Sharpsville, left this earthly realm on Sept. 25, 2021, after fighting her battle with cancer.

She was born on March 18, 1955, in Sharon.

It would be wrong to say Sis lost her battle, because she never stopped fighting. Through her, we know what resilience and perseverance truly look like. Just because she is no longer here, it doesn't mean she lost her fight.

A loving mother and homemaker, Sis was a remarkable cook and enjoyed making meals for her family, most especially over the holidays. She loved reading, shopping, scratch-off tickets and her many cats. She dedicated her entire life to her children, and we take comfort in knowing she may now rest in peace alongside our brother Eric.

She is survived by her husband Francis of 35 years; sons, Chris (Kate) Dallacroce and Brian Dallacroce; daughter Dana (Danny) Stephenson; and many furbabies.

Sis was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Helen Kocholek; a sister Mary Bowden; three brothers, Walter, John and Larry Kocholek; and a son, Eric.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation to the American Cancer Society.

Cecelia, 66, of Sharpsville.

Visitation: 5 to 7 p.m. Friday (10-1-21) at SAMPLE-O'DONNELL FUNERAL HOME, 555 E. State St., Sharon.
