Coleen worked as a homecare nurse for many years before transitioning to a role in educating others through Community Life in Pittsburgh.
Coleen was an absolutely wonderful person. She devoted herself to showing love and compassion to everyone she met. She was loved by her friends, coworkers, countless patients, and her family. She was the best Mimi to her three beautiful grandkids, Annabel, Reilly and Emery. Everything she did, she did with her whole heart. She made every milestone, birthday, and holiday the most magical occasion. There is nothing that she would not do for the people she loved. Her family was her everything. She loved educating and caring for people. She loved music and the beach and making the most wonderful memories with her loved ones. She was truly the most beautiful person inside and out. She will be forever loved and missed by all who knew her.
Left to cherish Coleen’s memory are her loving husband, R. Eric Gacesa; her dedicated daughters, Chris Mazzocco and husband Rich, and Brandi Campbell and husband Ryan Johnson, all of Pittsburgh; adoring grandchildren, Annabel, Reilly and Emery; several nieces, nephews and cousins.
