Tulio Vizioli

Tulio Vizioli, born November 3, 1935, in Colledimezzo, Italy, passed away peacefully on January 13, 2026.

Tulio’s life was defined by hard work, devotion to family, and deep-rooted friendships. After emigrating from Argentina to the United States in 1956, he began building the life that would become his legacy. On December 8, 1957, he married his beloved wife, Mary, and together they settled in New Rochelle, New York, where they raised their family and shared nearly seven decades of love and partnership.

Tulio was the proud owner of Cherry Lawn Nursery in New Rochelle, NY, where his passion for gardening and nature was evident in everything he touched. Known for his remarkable knowledge of plants and his meticulous care, he took great pride in creating beauty for others to enjoy. Upon retirement, Tulio and Mary moved to Port St. Lucie, Florida, where he continued to nurture his love for gardening, creating stunning plantings around his patio and property that reflected both his skill and his heart.

An avid golfer, Tulio treasured the time he spent golfing at Ballantrae with his many friends. He also enjoyed long walks and quiet moments outdoors, always finding peace in nature. Deeply connected to his heritage, Tulio served as President of the Colledimezzo Social Club in New York for several years, fostering community and preserving traditions dear to him. He was a devoted parishioner of Holy Family Catholic Church in Port St. Lucie.

Above all else, Tulio loved his family deeply. He was a trusted and loyal friend, a devoted husband, a proud father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and a steady presence in the lives of those who knew him.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Mary; his children, Lisa and Pat Costello, Linda and Gary Soderlund, and Joseph and Ivy Vizioli; his eight grandchildren, Caitlin, Corey, Connor, Gregory (Stefanie), Maxx, Ryan (Stephanie), Julia, and Sean; his three great-grandchildren, Luca, Amelia, and Hudson; and his sister, Claudia Cofone, and her family of Argentina.

Tulio will be remembered for his kindness, integrity, love of family, and the beauty he cultivated in both gardens and lives. His memory will forever bloom in the hearts of those who loved him.
