It is with incredibly heavy hearts that Connie’s family shares the unexpected passing of Shalia Deciderio, Connie’s beloved sister. Shalia was a loving, caring, vibrant, and outgoing person whose beautiful spirit touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. Their presence brought warmth, joy, and love to family and friends, and this loss has left an unimaginable emptiness in the hearts of those who loved Shalia. Shalia also leaves behind a precious young child, who is now facing life without a parent.

During this heartbreaking time, the family is asking for support to help cover funeral and memorial expenses and to provide care and stability for Shalia’s young child as the family surrounds the child with love and support. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help ease some of the financial burden they are carrying right now. If you are able, please consider donating, sharing this fundraiser, and keeping Shalia’s family in your prayers. Thank you for honoring Shalia’s life and for showing kindness, love, and support to Connie’s family during this devastating time. Every donation, share, prayer, and kind word means more than words can express.
