Gloria N. Cecchetti, age 88, of Erie and formerly of Marlton NJ., passed away peacefully at her apartment at the Regency surrounded by friends and family on Wednesday, November 23, 2022. Born on May 15, 1934 in the Bronx, New York, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Mary Giaimo Mannino. Gloria worked many years as a young mother of two, supporting her devoted husband, Paul J. Cecchetti, while raising her children. Born and raised in the Bronx, she had her own business for many years typing graduate theses from her home for Doctorate and graduate students for .50 cents per page. She loved the country life and traveling, so she insisted the family move out of the Bronx in 1965 and settled in Albany NY. Eventually, the family moved to Erie where she worked as the administrative assistant to the Superintendent to the Fairview School District under Terry Waters. Gloria loved music and square dancing. She also was an avid roller skater. She was a photographer and took thousands of photos of her travels in life. Her organization skills and attention to detail in all things was legendary. She relentlessly tried to improve anyone's life that she came in contact with by giving sage advise on how to improve what they were working on or struggling with. Survivors include her two sons, Mark Cecchetti (Crystal) of Erie, PA., and Paul Cecchetti Jr. (Breda) of Castlebar Ireland; her sister, Cynthia Lindquist of Mahopac NY.; her brother, Julie Mannino of Mahopac NY; five grandchildren, Mario, Anthony, Julia, Paul Jr. of Ireland, and Mark of Ireland; and many nieces, nephews and cousins all in the New York City area. Friends and family will be invited to a funeral celebration in the Bronx, NY at a date and time to be determined, where she will be buried with her loving husband and devoted father Paul Sr. Arrangements were handled by the Dusckas Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., 2607 Buffalo Rd.
