Saratoga Springs, NY - Carly Christina Piraneo, passed away on Thursday, September 26, 2019.  Born on August 5, 1991 to Lisa Wood and Carmelo Piraneo in Southern California, she was raised in Farmington, Connecticut.

Carly was a graduate of the Farmington High School class of 2009 and was the living embodiment of the laidback, carefree Cali lifestyle with a New England drive. Always a free spirit with a heart that knew no bounds, she was a beloved daughter, sibling, and friend.

Carly enjoyed photography and fashion, and was passionate about early childhood education. In high school she was a multi-sport athlete; starring in softball, field hockey, and ice hockey. She never faced a challenge that she wouldn't shy away from. Headstrong, thoughtful, and persistent, there were seldom times where Carly would do something that didn't surprise her family and friends. She will be missed by many, but never forgotten.

Along with her parents, Lisa and Carmelo, Carly leaves behind her older sister Tara Piraneo, older brother Ryan Piraneo, maternal grandmother, uncles, aunts, and numerous cousins in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Italy, and Australia.

Relatives and friends may call from 6 to 8pm Tuesday, October 1, 2019 at the William J. Burke & Sons Bussing/Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway (518-584-5373). Burial will be private at the convenience of the family.
