Cavalieri, Kristina B.(Denisiewicz)
Kristina Barbara Cavalieri, 72, wife of Paul Cavalieri, of Wethersfield, died peacefully Sunday, February 18, 2024, with her brother Stanley by her side and daughter Jenna on the phone. Kristina was born August 7, 1951 in Germany, to Wanda and Jan Denisiewicz. She married Paul on June 11, 1978 and the two were each other's lifelong companions and loved each other very much. They were blessed with two children, Jenna and Paulie. Kristina is survived by her husband Paul, daughter Jenna, her siblings Mirek, Stanley, Richard and Kathy Denisiewicz, stepdaughter Christine Cavalieri, sistersin-law Bonnie and Anne, nieces and nephews Michael, Juliette, Jason and Kristoff and Mary-Anne DiCiccio, her best friend of 68 years. Kristina was predeceased by her son Paul Cavalieri.
She will be especially remembered for her selflessness and kindness she shared anywhere she went. In 2008 she started “Paulies Presence”, a non-profit in remembrance of her son Paulie. Here she worked with Hartford schools volunteering her time to children, reading and spending time so every child felt seen and loved. Kristina donated backpacks with school supplies, clothing shoes and toys. She also started a scholarship fund at Wethersfield High School in Paulie's name. Kristina embraced her son-in-law Steven Rosella, along with his children Laura and Sean with open arms and a heart filled with love. She loved her job at Trinity College working in the Counseling Center with Jaime, George, Randy, Carmine and all the students.
Kristina was a true angel on earth that touched every person who was lucky enough to have met her. She was the most gentle, beautiful, loving, welcoming, kind, strongest, wisest, selfless, warm, sweetest soul that anyone could have known. She was everything. Kristina loved planting flowers in her garden, painting, feeding the birds, going to the outlets with Mary-Anne, dancing with her husband in the kitchen, finding the best shopping deals, helping children in need and spending every minute she could with her family, who were everything to her. Kristina's wish in life was for all of us and the world to love each other.
