Olivia Fanelle

(nee Bracarello), age 85 of Gloucester Twp, NJ passed away on Friday, November 22, 2024.  Beloved wife of the late Rocco J.  Devoted mother of Maria DiMartino (Joe) and the late Benjamin R. Fanelle.  Loving Nana to Joey and Anthony.  Olivia is also survived by cherished friend, Diana, “little sister” Roxy, lifelong neighbors and friends and to those who called her Nana O.

Olivia’s extraordinary life and her love of it will forever live on within all of our memories. She was a true force to be reckoned with.  She was a beacon and guiding light for all who entered into her “tower”. She was resilient, fierce, loving and tenderhearted. Olivia’s indomitable spirit, energy and meaningful existence is indescribable. She was an adventure. She embraced life and all that came with it. She loved deeply and cherished every moment. Her children, Benjamin and Maria and her precious grandsons, Joey and Anthony were her life and they were her greatest love.

Olivia’s passions in life were plenty but her love of cooking and traveling the world were the most impactful not just for her but for all who were able to share the experiences with her through her storytelling of her travels. She would often say wheresoever you go, go with all your heart and she did exactly that.

Family and friends are invited to attend her visitation Friday November 29^th, 9:30-11:00 AM at the Egizi Funeral Home, 119 Ganttown Road, Washington Twp.  Funeral service 11:00 AM.
