KATHLEEN CICCHI CIOFFI
CANFIELD – Kathleen Cicchi Cioffi, 70, passed away peacefully at her Canfield home.

She was an East High School graduate and completed her undergraduate degree at Youngstown University, commencing to teach for 40 wonderful years.
Her professional work included a short employment in social work as a home-school visitor. Her true ministry was that of a classroom teacher. The most enduring memory she leaves is her love of Jesus Christ and her desire to share that love with all who knew her.
