Gjylizar (Kadilli) Kocibelli, 92, passed away surrounded by family on Wednesday, February 5th in Worcester, MA. She was a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother whose love and wisdom will forever remain in our hearts.
Gjylizar was born on October 8th, 1932, in Starove, Pogradec, Albania, daughter of the late Mehmet and Naime (Zgjani) Kadilli. She is survived by her four sisters, Arta, Hygeta, Adelina, and Fadile. She was preceded in passing by her brothers, Suat and Muhamet Kadilli. She was a devoted wife to her late husband, Rahmi Kocibelli, who passed before her.
She took great pride in her family and found joy in the simplest moments spent with her loved ones. She lived a life filled with strength, resilience, and commitment to her family.
Gjylizar was blessed to be cared for with love and devotion by her daughter, Loreta, for many years. Together, they shared a home and created a lifetime of cherished memories. Their bond was special and filled with love.
She is lovingly survived by her four children: Bardhyl Kocibelli and his wife Dolora, Arjan Kocibelli and his wife Mirjana, Raimonda Bucher and her husband Ben, and Loreta Belica and her husband Josif. She was a proud Nena (grandmother) to Romen Kocibelli and his wife Ellin, Linda Kocibelli and her husband Erjon, Alba Kocibelli and her husband Ed, Besjan Kocibelli and his wife Amanda, Fabian Bucher and his fiancée Jane, Megan Belica, and Shayla Belica. She was also blessed with three great-grandchildren, Ana Kocibelli, Emma Kocibelli, and Alexander Rzucidlo, whom she adored. In addition, she leaves behind many nieces and nephews.
Gjylizar’s love and legacy will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew her. We find comfort in knowing she is now reunited with her beloved husband after many years. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
