Edith T. (Lizzotti) Navarroli, 92, of Niagara Falls, NY died on Friday November 30, 2012 at Schoellkopf Health Care Facility. Born in Terrelle, Italy she was the daughter of the late Francis and Mary Grace (D'Ammizio) Lizzotti.

On September 7, 1946 she married Amadio 'Amy' Navarroli at Holy Rosary Church in Thorold, Ontario, Canada. Mr. Navarroli predeceased her on June 10, 2005. Edie, as she was known, was a devoted and loving mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and dear friend to so many. Known as "Lala" by her great grandchildren, Edith enjoyed opera, Broadway musicals, singing, crocheting, traveling and being a faithful member of St. Joseph's choir for over 45 years.


Edith was active in St. Joseph's, Bishop Duffy and Madonna's Mothers clubs, always volunteering and supporting the area parochial schools. She was a member of the Madonna del Soccorso Society and many other church related prayer groups. As a devout Catholic, Edith was often called upon to pray for those in need of spiritual support. She lovingly referred to her list of prayer requests daily. In 2004, she and her late husband Amadio were honored by the Pine Ave. Business Association as "Special Citizens", an award she was proud to receive being a resident of Niagara Falls' Little Italy district for over 60 years.
