Gloria Carnicella Obituary
We are sad to announce that on June 18, 2025, at the age of 77, Gloria Carnicella in Miami Lakes, Florida passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Gloria may no longer walk among us, her spirit lives on in the echoes of her kindness, the warmth of her embrace, and the light of her enduring love.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Frank Fernandez and Gloria Fernandez (Molina). She is survived by: her children, Gloria Rigsbee (Jason) and James A. Carnicella; her granddaughters, Taylor, Braidyn and Madison Rigsbee; her brother Frank Fernandez (Barbara); and her former husband Jimmy Carnicella.
The family has requested in lieu of flowers those who wish to make memorial contributions donate to the Savannah Children's Theatre where Cookie watched her daughter and granddaughters pursue their passion and bring joy to her and families over the years (savannahchildrenstheatre.org).
