In Loving Memory of Susan (Tragianese) Cecchini 

Susan (Tragianese) Cecchini, age 99, of Bridgeport, passed away peacefully on July 23, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of the late James Cecchini. Born in Bridgeport on April 23, 1926, Susan was the daughter of the late Carmine and Maria (Costanzo) Tragianese.

Susan loved to dance and had a gift for decorating that brightened every room she entered. She was a devoted sister, aunt, and friend, whose kind heart and joyful spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
