Franchesca Di-Ette Rose Konopaski

In Loving Memory of Franchesca Di-Ette Rose Konopaski 

July 29, 1963 – June 7, 2025

With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we announce the unexpected passing of Franchesca Di-Ette Rose Konopaski on June 7, 2025, at the age of 61.

Born on July 29, 1963, in Oahu, Hawaii. Franchesca lived a life filled with warmth, love, and laughter. She was the embodiment of kindness—selfless, funny, and family-oriented to her core. Whether offering a helping hand, a listening ear, or a witty comeback, Franchesca left an impression of love and joy wherever she went.

Franchesca had a profound love for animals and nature, a gentle spirit, and a magnetic warmth that drew people to her. She was the heart of every gathering, the one who made you feel welcome, and the one you could always count on. Her devotion to her family, faith and her ability to love unconditionally made her truly one of a kind.

She is preceded in death by her mother Judith Yvonne Rose Hopfe and her father Roy Costales, whom she now joins in eternal peace.

She is survived by her loving husband, Christian Konopaski, and her treasured pets, Kanye and Loki, as well as extended family and many dear friends who will carry her memory with them always.

A funeral mass will be held in her honor on Saturday, June 28th at 8:30 AM at Visitation Catholic Church, 3314 S 58th St, Tacoma, WA, 98409. All who knew and loved Franchesca are welcome to attend and celebrate her remarkable life.

Though she is no longer with us in body, Franchesca’s spirit, laughter, and legacy of love will live on in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know her.

Rest gently, sweet Franchesca. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
