Anita Louise Riegel age 86, of Boynton Beach, Florida, passed away on April 3, 2026. Louise was born on June 15, 1939 in The Bronx, NY to Mary and John Cioffi.

Growing up, Louise had a close bond with her sister, Theresa, and brother, Michael as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

In September 1997, Louise married Clayton C Riegel in Atlantic County, NJ. Together, they shared over 25 years of marriage and built a life filled with love, joy, friends and travel.

In addition to traveling, Louise loved to do many things like dancing and playing games like Mah Jong and Canasta. She could often be found playing the slots in Atlantic City with Clay cheering her on.

Louise is survived by her son, John Vessecchia. She was preceded in death by her husband, Clayton as well as her parents and siblings.

There are currently no services planned. In memory of “Weezy”, please dance a few steps, raise a glass in her honor, play a game or just say a prayer. She would have loved doing any of those things.
