.
Giovanna is survived and lovingly remembered by her daughter Dina Elliot of Naples, FL, her son-in-law Jack Elliot, and her beloved grandsons Connor, Jonathan and Jamie, as well as her brother Mario Lechich, his wife Maria, and her treasured nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Livio Galeazzi, her parents Antonio Lechich and Maria Kuchich, and her siblings Antonio Lechich, Romolo Lechich and Domenica Barulich.
Giovanna was born in
Mali Losinj, Croatia (formerly Lussingrande, Italy) on March 12, 1931. She and her family left the island during World War 2 and moved to Nervi, Italy.
She subsequently moved to the United States in the mid-1950's, with her family and her husband Livio Galeazzi. Giovanna attended Hunter College and worked as an office manager and bookkeeper for several NYC and NJ firms, including Eric Metzger & Associates, Perugina and SNIA Viscosa during her career. She loved to travel, cook, paint and spend time with family and friends. She resided in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey and Naples, Florida and returned frequently to her native Italy.
Her family wrote, "Giovanna's endless energy, outgoing personality and dedication to her family and those she loved were an inspiration. She lived life to the fullest – sharing warm smile and infectious laugh with those around her. She will always and forever live in our hearts."
