Anna Graziadio

Anna DeNovellis Graziadio, 89, of Wyckoff and formerly of Clifton, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, surrounded by her family. Born in Italy in the region of Puglia, she lived in Alberobello before moving to Novara where she worked as a Deputy Clerk at the municipality. She immigrated to Clifton, NJ with her husband and children in 1970. 

She was an innate caretaker that would often sacrifice her own needs; dedicating her life to her role as a loving mother and grandmother. She was adored by both strangers and friends alike.

She is survived by her three children: Diana Nieradka and her husband, Renato, of Glen Rock; Franco David Graziadio, of Fair Lawn; and Sabrina Appell and her husband, Brian, of Little Silver.

She is also survived by her grandchildren: Sondra and Devan Nieradka and Luciana Graziadio. 

She was predeceased in death by her loving husband, Domenico Graziadio; her parents: Leonardo and Nunzia DeNovellis; and her siblings: Maria Salamida and Peter DeNovellis.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday, June 10th from 3pm to 5:30 p.m. at the VanderPlaat Funeral Home,  www.vpfh.com, 257 Godwin Ave. Wyckoff, NJ.
