Devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister

Allison Ann Papas, age 47, died peacefully after a sudden illness on May 8th, 2026.

Born on December 22, 1978 in Staten Island, New York, she was the firstborn and eldest daughter of Anthony and Donna (nee Sanza) Cioffoletti.

She attended New Dorp High School, and soon afterwards started her career in the financial sector, beginning at Lovell Safety Management Co., Manhattan. She later worked for Honda Financial Services, and in recent years, Wells Fargo.

In March 2010, Allison married Anthony Papas after the two first met on a night out in 1998. This year, they celebrated sixteen years of marriage. She was his rock, just as he was hers.

They moved to the Carolinas in 2005, settling in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and more recently in York, South Carolina; a place they truly loved and were proud to call home.

Together, they raised their son, Anthony, with immense care, fun, devotion, and pride. Allison was a deeply devoted mother whose love for her son was at the center of her being.

Allison enjoyed baking, trips to NY to visit family, Christmas movies, and a good cup of coffee. She was an avid reader and passionate about books. She was a skilled poetry writer, entering poetry readings throughout Staten Island as a teenager. She was over the moon for her dogs Eli, Milo, and Isabelle.

She was known for her generosity, quick wit, and deep love of her family. She was also a very proud bilateral cochlear implant warrior. She will be immensely missed by all of us forever.

Allison is survived by her loving husband of 16 years, Anthony; Son, Anthony; Mother, Donna Cioffoletti; Sisters, Aprile Love (Jesse Warcup), Amy, Alicia; Grandmother, Dolores Sanza; Aunts, Debbie (Jim McCreay), Dolores (Bob Maikranz); Uncle, Danny Cioffoletti (LeeAnn) of North Ridgeville, OH; Aunt, Donna Cioffoletti of North Ridgeville, OH.

Allison was preceded in death by her Father, Anthony Cioffoletti, Grandfather, Donato Sanza and Grandparents, Anthony and Anne Cioffoletti.

Allison is being cremated, per her request, with a Celebration of Life to follow.
