Joan Anne Ciliberti, 73, of Chadds Ford, died March 26 at
the home she loved.
She was born Oct. 6 in Wilkes Barre to the late James and
Johanna Frail.
Her family moved to Chester where she graduated from Chester
High School in 1955. She married the late Ralph F. Ciliberti, Sr. in 1956 and
they went on to have 6 children. She was employed by Colonial Meat Market in
West Chester for the last 17 years. Her greatest accomplishment was the only
one that ever mattered to her, being a mother. Her devotion and commitment to
her family was unparalleled even as she took her last breath. She nurtured her
children, grandchildren and the occasional lost soul in a way that only a true
mother can do. She demanded loyalty and commanded respect; both of which she
got. She taught those around her about grace, dignity and love. She will be
missed by all who crossed her path.
Joan was predeceased in death by her oldest son, Ralph Jr.
in 2009. She is survived by her son Michael and his wife Carmela, of Lincoln
University; daughters Joan Yannuzzi, of Chadds Ford, Patti Lawson and her
husband Rick of West Grove, Carol Ciliberti of Kennett Square, and Crissy
Ciliberti of Chadds Ford. She is also survived by her loving grandchildren Amy,
Gary, Christopher, Nicholas, Rylan, Max and Lauryn.
She was the youngest of five children and was predeceased by
her sister, Mary Burgess and three brothers, James Frail, Jr., Joseph Frail and
Gerald Frail.
