In Loving Memory

Patricia Nunez Giacona
November 24, 1942 — July 21, 2026
With love in our hearts and treasured memories to hold dear, we announce the peaceful passing of Patricia Nunez Giacona, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, on July 21, 2026, at the age of 83. Born in Gretna, Louisiana, on November 24, 1942, Patricia was the cherished daughter of the late Earl and Bertha Nunez.
Patricia's life was a testament to love, creativity, and dedication. She was blessed with a marriage of over six decades to her husband, Corrado Giacona II, whom she married on July 25, 1964, at St. Joseph Church. Together, they built a beautiful family and a remarkable life, surrounded by their children - Gina, Corrado III, and Louis II - and their families.
Her career as an interior designer and home builder was marked by an unparalleled sense of style and creativity. Patricia's work left a lasting impression on everyone who experienced it, as her designs effortlessly transformed spaces into works of art. In addition to her design career, she served as the Secretary / Treasurer of Giacona Container Company, the family's plastic drink cup printing and manufacturing business.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Patricia had a profound passion for fashion. Her unique style and elegance always stood out with her impeccable taste, no matter the occasion. She also loved her country and was always a proud supporter of the USA.
She is survived by her loving husband, Corrado; her children and their spouses, Gina, Corrado III and Christine, and Louis II and Crissy; her 7 cherished grandchildren, Caroline, Christopher, Corrado IV, Nicholas, Julia, Louis III, and Alex; and her dear sister, Bertha Vera. Patricia was predeceased by her parents, Earl and Bertha, her grandson, Scotty, and her sisters, Jacquelyn and Geraldine, all of whom she dearly missed.
A service to honor Patricia's life will be held on Saturday August 1st, 2026 at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, located at 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70124. Visitation begins at 10:00 am, mass in the chapel at 12:00 pm, followed by interment in Metairie Cemetery.
Patricia's light will continue to shine through the lives of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten, as her spirit lives on in the hearts of her family and friends.
