Clelia Lamela

Clelia Lamela (nee Gualtieri) a longtime resident of Elmsford, entered into eternal rest on February 28 after a long and courageous battle against Pancreatic Cancer. Clelia was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, on November 5, 1950 to the late Pedro Gualtieri and Severina Gualtieri. She grew up in a loving home along with her brother, Jose Gualtieri (Nancy). At the young age of twelve, she met a great friend, Juan Jose Lamela whom she would later marry on December 19, 1970. She was a wonderful and devoted mother to her children, Alesandra (David) Antenucci, Fabiana (Carlos) Torres and Jose Carlos (Kimberly) Lamela. The greatest loves of her life were, without a doubt, her grandchildren, Errol (Angelique), Amanda, Lucas, Xavier, Liam and Sebastian and her great-granddaughter, Khaleesi. Clelia will be incredibly missed by her family and her friends. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, March 2 at 10:00am at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, 59 East Main Street, Elmsford, NY.
