Louisa E. (Capobianco) Iannotti

97, of Johnston, passed away on Friday, August 21, 2026, at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital in North Providence. She was the devoted wife of the late William P. Iannotti. Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Ernest and Gulia Capobianco.

After retiring as a social worker with the State of Rhode Island, Luisa showed no interest in slowing down. She embraced needlepoint, shopping, and knitting, became an avid golfer, served as a Goodwill Ambassador for AARP, and generously volunteered her time at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital, the Johnston Senior Center, and St. Bridget’s Church. She loved her family deeply and endured profound loss with the passing of her husband William in 2002, her grandson William in 2005, and her son-in-law Anthony in 2007. Throughout, her family, extended family, and friends remained steadfastly by her side. After moving to Chapel Hill, she formed new friendships; those who knew her often remarked that she was always a challenge, but one you could not help but love.

Luisa is survived by her loving children, William P. Iannotti and his wife Audrey of West Warwick, and Linda Matracia of Johnston. She was the cherished grandmother of Alexis DelSignore and the adored great-grandmother of Billie Rayne DelSignore. She is also survived by her brother, Angelo Capobianco, and her sisters-in-law, Patsy Kettle and Barbara Selby.

She was predeceased by her son-in-law Anthony Matracia; her cherished grandson William V. Iannotti; her brother Ernest Capobianco; Mary Zoglio; Christian Manfredi; her sisters-in-law Gloria Capobianco and Florence Capobianco; and her brothers-in-law Tony Zoglio and Vinny Manfredi.

Visiting hours will be held on Thursday, August 27th, from 8:30-10:00 a.m. in the NARDOLILLO FUNERAL HOME & Crematory, 1278 Park Avenue, Cranston, followed by her Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m. in St. Robert Bellarmine Church, Johnston. Burial will follow in St. Ann Cemetery, Cranston.
