Lenora Pellegrini

With heavy hearts and faith in God’s promises, we announce the passing of Lenora Pellegrini, a beloved woman of strong faith, devoted wife, loving mother, cherished sister, proud grandmother, and faithful friend. Her life was a beautiful reflection of God’s grace, generosity, and unwavering love. She was surrounded by her loving family at the time of her passing on Monday December 8, 2025, a true testament to the deep bonds she nurtured throughout her life. She was a devoted mother who loved her children fiercely and selflessly, always putting their needs above her own. Her greatest earthly joy was being Nonna/Granny pouring endless love into her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and celebrating their milestones, praying over them, and cheering them on through every season of life. Preceded in death by husband, Luigi “Gino”; parents, Salvatore and Lucia Susi; and niece, Tina Mancini; brother-in-law, Nunzio Mancini and other relatives. She is survived by her sister, Mary Mancini. Children: Lisa (Michael) Pacifico, Julie (Frank) Vaccari, Gino, Bruno (Carla) Pellegrini. Grandchildren: Christopher, Natalie and Luke Pacifico. Nick (Ari) Vaccari, Adam (Sarah) Vaccari, and Daniella (Brantley) Kushner. Olivia Pellegrini. Salvatore and Vincenzo Pellegrini. Great grandchildren: Zaylee Pellegrini, Luke and Liliana Vaccari, Carmela Kushner, and Lucia Vaccari. Her faith was the foundation of her life, guiding her words and actions each day. She found strength in prayer, comfort in Scripture, and her devotion to the blessed mother and joy in serving others. As a wife, she shared a deep and lasting love with her husband, Gino of 41 years, and today we find peace in knowing she is reunited with him in Heaven, embraced in eternal rest. Family was her heart. She treasured family gatherings, holidays around the table, laughter-filled moments, and time spent with friends who became family. Her home was always open, her heart always generous, and her love always unconditional. Her family will miss her more than words can express. They will miss her voice, her hugs, her prayers, and the steady presence that made everything feel safe and whole. Yet, they take comfort in knowing she is now at peace, reunited with her beloved husband, and walking in the presence of her Lord and Savior. Visitation will take place Monday December 15th, from 4:00 to 7:00pm at Rutherford Funeral Home at Powell, 450 West Olentangy Street, Powell, OH 43065. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 am Tuesday, December 16th, at St. Peter Roman Catholic Church 6899 Smoky Row Road, Columbus, Ohio 43235. Her faith, love, and legacy will live on forever in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her. .
