Bianca A. Piemonte Obituary
Bianca Arianna Piemonte, of Ipswich, passed away unexpectedly on July 7, 2024.
After 34 years of loving dogs, cats, guinea pigs, tortoises, horses, lizards, fish, birds, and every creature that exists on this good earth, our beloved Bianca has returned to the Great Spirit of the world.
As her mother says, Bianca was a 'dream baby', meaning she was so wonderful to take care of – after just a few days of being born, she started sleeping through the night. Residents of Rockport may remember seeing Barbara pulling her as a toddler in her red wagon all around town. During their adventures is when Bianca became passionate about animals and nature. At age 9, Bianca met a horse named Ari at a local farm – their connection was immediate. Thus began Bianca's love affair with horses. She would visit the giant black Shire horses on a farm in Essex often even in the past few years.
Bianca was a creative artist, a dog trainer & walker and plant caretaker. She loved science and nature, was endlessly curious about every living thing and was well on her way to identifying every single plant that grew in the ground. Daily bird-watching was part of her routine. She was smart, funny, and beautiful in every way. Always the adventurous one, Bianca loved to share experiences with her family and friends, like hiking, Dog Sledding and visiting Salt Caves. She was an explorer. Throughout her life, Bianca continued to be easy-going, compassionate and thoughtful – that's why everyone loved her.
After graduating Rockport High School Class of 2008, she graduated from Bridgewater State College with a dual degree in Psychology and Art. As part of her educational experience, she went to Japan to study ancient tea ceremonies and assisted a Master Ceramic Artist in feeding his kiln with firewood all night. After college Bianca became a Certified Vet Tech and went on to launch her own dog training and dog walking business with many clients all over the North Shore. She loved every dog she ever met. And they loved her back.
Bianca's departure comes as a great shock and is gravely felt by her entire family and countless others who loved her deeply. She is survived by her mother Barbara J. Parsons, her parents David Piemonte and Terry E. Del Percio- Piemonte. Uncles; Douglas A. Parsons, Laurence R. Parsons, Dr. George T. Ladd Sr. Aunts; Carol A. Ladd, Irene M. Del Percio, Judith A.
