Florence (Lecce) Lasky (1930-2025)

Florence (Lecce) Lasky, 94, passed away on February 14th, 2025.
She was born in Aliquippa on May 19th, 1930, the daughter of the late Chiara and Giovanni Lecce. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph Lasky, her brother, Orazio Antonio Lecce and her nephew, Richard Ralph Lecce.
She is survived by a multitude of nephews and nieces, including her nephew, John Lecce, her niece, Denise Lecce Ward, as well as several great-nephews, nieces, great great-nieces and great-great nephews.

Florence was a lifelong member of St. Titus Catholic Church, part of Mary Queen of Saints Parish where she was baptized, confirmed, and married.
Florence was an intelligent woman with an entrepreneurial spirit. Despite never receiving a college degree, her natural ambition inspired her to own and manage a business, serve as a bank manager at numerous banks and prepare taxes for family and friends. Her niece, Denise, frequently mentioned, “Florence was born ahead of her time!” Along with all the hats she wore, the most important was that of a good friend and doting aunt. It was like her house had a revolving door, and her many friends and family were always welcome. If you were close to Florence, you
knew what it meant when she said, “I am going to therapy.” Playing slots and video poker were her favorite pastimes.
Visitation will be on Monday, February 17th from 10 a.m. until the time of departing prayers at 11:30 a.m. in the Anthony Mastrofrancesco Funeral Home Inc., 2026 McMinn Street, Aliquippa. A Mass of Christian burial will follow at 12 noon at St. Titus Church, 952 Franklin Avenue, Aliquippa. Her final resting place will be next to her loving husband at Mount Olivet.
