With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Barbara Ferazi of Boynton Beach, Florida, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Barbara left this world on December 7, 2024 at the age of 81, leaving a void in the lives of so many people.

Barbara was born in Brooklyn, New York to Nancy Esposito and Vincent Pariante. She was the first born of 5 children. After finishing school she met the love of her life Richard Ferazi(Rich), they soon wed and had 2 children, Nancy and Richard(Rick). After having children she and Rich moved to East Meadow, New York where they raised their beautiful family until they eventually all moved to South Florida.

Barbara was the matriarch of the Ferazi family, and was well known for her sense of humor, quick wit and amazing skills in the kitchen. From hosting Sunday football parties for the New York Giants with all her family and friends, to the feast of the seven fishes for Christmas Eve dinner which took her a full week to cook. Her love language was taking care of the people she loved, and it showed to all who knew her. She never showed up to your home empty handed. She enjoyed traveling with her husband, playing cards with friends, and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She attended every game, award ceremony, grandparents day, and graduation for each grandchild and made sure to take pictures of everything because she was so proud of her family.

She is survived by her daughter Nancy Simile, son in law John Simile, daughter in law Angela Ferazi, grandchildren John and Ashley Simile, Samantha Ferazi, Joseph and Kadi Simile, Francesca Ferazi,  Nicholas Ferazi, great grandchildren Alessi and Emerson, her sister Nancy McKenna, and countless nieces, nephews, and cousins.

She is pre-deceased by her husband Richard (Rich) Ferazi, her son Richard (Rick) Ferazi, her parents Vincent and Nancy Pariante, her sisters Grace Pariante and Susan Buonfiglio and her brother in law Neil McKenna.

A private service is planned for Friday December 20th.
