Casimina H.
Radicelli
Jan 15, 1925 — Jun 8, 2026
St. Mary Catholic Church
Starts at 11:00 am
Casimina H. Radicelli (née Contorno), affectionately known as "Cassi," went to be with the Lord on June 8, 2026, at the age of 101. Born in 1925, Cassi lived a life marked by faith, devotion to family, kindness, and unwavering love for those around her. A devoted Catholic, she lived her faith through her actions, always placing family, compassion, and service to others at the center of her life. Cassi was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jerry Radicelli, who passed away in June 2012; her parents, Sam and Carmela Contorno; her sisters, Sadie DeFrancesco (Wedo) and Caroline Kapral (Charles), and her grandson, Jeremy Radicelli. She graduated from John Hay High School in Cleveland in 1943 and was immediately hired by the White Motor Company as a secretary. Her strong work ethic was evident throughout her life, both in her career and at home. Cassi took tremendous pride in maintaining her Walton Hills home, which reflected her care, dedication, and attention to detail. Family and friends often joked that you could eat off her kitchen floor. Everything in her home looked brand new, even though the house was built in 1956, a testament to the pride she took in everything she did. If anything could be called her trademark, it was the care and love she poured into her home and family. Known for her bright smile, contagious laughter, and genuine warmth, Cassi made everyone feel welcome. Her kindness was unmatched, and she had a remarkable ability to make others feel loved, valued, and at ease. Cassi is survived by her loving children, Anne Carol Lopez (Silverio) and Jack Radicelli; her grandchildren, Jennifer Strohl, Michael DeJohn (Stephanie), and Matt Radicelli(Kristen); her step-grandchildren, Tiffany and Jennifer; her great-grandchildren, Madyson (Sean), Kyleigh, Cecelia, Matthew, Annabel, Lillian, Isabella, Eliana, Grace, and Isabella; and her cherished great-great-grandson, Lincoln Joseph. More than anything, Cassi loved her family. Her legacy is one of faith, love, kindness, laughter, and quiet devotion. She leaves behind generations who were blessed by her example and who will forever cherish the memories, values, and love she shared throughout her remarkable life. Friends may call at ST. MARY CATHOLIC CHURCH, 340 UNION STREET, BEDFORD, OHIO FOR VISITATION ON THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 2026 FROM 10:00 -11:00 A.M. Cassi's Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. Interment All Saints Cemetery.
