Obituary of Bice Ciccone Carnevale

Bice Ciccone Carnevale, 97, of Lawrenceville died peacefully at home on Sunday, June 28, 2020 surrounded by her loving family. Born and raised in Pettoranello, Italy she immigrated to Lawrenceville in October of 1970 with her husband Angelo and resided there the rest of her life. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and a wonderful homemaker who delighted in preparing the best meals for her extended family, especially at Christmastime. She provided child care for many of her grandchildren in the comfort of her home and was a loving “Nonina” to every one of her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Bice enjoyed the simple things in life, like harvesting the garden that she and Angelo raised each year, as well as the annual ritual of wine making every October. But her greatest joy in life was spending time with her family. In her later years, her loving daughters provided daily caregiving for her in her home, where she died peacefully.
