Clarissa Ann Miranda Palcone

With profound sorrow and deep gratitude for a life beautifully lived, we announce the passing of Clarissa Ann Miranda Palcone on June 5, 2026.

Clarissa was a loving and devoted mother, a faithful servant of God, and a woman whose life was firmly rooted in prayer, love, and unwavering devotion to the Blessed Mother Mary. Her steadfast faith in the Catholic Church guided her throughout her life and inspired all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She touched countless lives through her kindness, compassion, and selfless love. Her devotion to Mother Mary and St. Joseph strengthened her faith, nurtured her humility, and gave her the grace to face life's joys and challenges with courage and trust in God. Clarissa's gentle heart brought comfort to many, and she served as a shining example of faith within her family and community.

Her life was a beautiful reflection of grace, humility, devotion, and unconditional love. Though she is no longer with us in body, her love, faith, and legacy will remain forever in our hearts. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all whose lives she touched.

Clarissa is survived by her beloved husband of 24 years, Severino John Palcone; her cherished children, Czarina, Nathaniel, and Mikey Palcone; her loving sister, Cheryl (Dante) Osit; and countless cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever treasure her memory. Clarissa is now reunited in Heaven with her beloved mother, Julieta de Leon, and her father, Miguel Miranda. She is also joyfully greeted by a great cloud of witnesses, including her beloved Lola, who lovingly helped raise so many of her grandchildren; her cherished Tita Shoni; and, most recently, Tito Dan.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the countless people who cared for Clarissa with love, compassion, and unwavering support throughout her journey. They extend special thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff of Thompson Oncology and LeConte Medical Center for their dedicated care. The family is also deeply grateful to Covenant Health Homecare and Hospice for the compassionate care, comfort, and dignity they provided, as well as Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic for their support and care throughout her journey. Most importantly, the family offers their deepest appreciation to Holy Cross Catholic Church for their prayers, spiritual guidance, generosity, and faithful support throughout Clarissa’s long battle with cancer. As we mourn her passing, we also celebrate the remarkable life she lived and the faith she shared so generously with others. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to Holy Cross Catholic Church, 144 Wears Valley Road, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863, whose generous support, prayers, and care were a source of strength and comfort throughout Clarissa’s long battle with cancer.

We love you so much, Clarissa. Your love, prayers, and example will continue to guide us until we meet again.  "Well done, good and faithful servant." — Matthew 25:23.  Condolences may be expressed at www.mynattfh.com.
