Jane E. Ricchiuti

Albany- Jane E. Ricchiuti, 90, passed away at Our Lady of Mercy Life Care Center, on Sunday, October 29th, with her family keeping vigil as she prepared for her journey to eternal life. Jane was born February 25, 1927 in Waterbury, CT., the daughter of the late Marinus and Jessie Thomas Krom. Jane was a unique woman who cherished the journey of life, first as a daughter then as a sister to her 10 siblings. She would tell you that as the 3rd child in a family of 11, it shaped her for what she considered her most important roles in life that of a wife and mother. Her caring nurturing nature was always evident with both her family and the community activities that she participated. She played cards with her grandkids for cheerios, served hot dogs at the Little League, helped out at Surefire Dances and with her best PAL, Phyllis Egan (deceased), ran the best Albany PAL Craft Clubs in town. Jane loved people. Her beloved husband, Leonard R. Ricchiuti, Sr., her sons David and Christopher and six of her siblings predeceased Jane. Jane is survived by her children: Rocco (Tricia), Leonard Jr. (Mary), Michele, Jennifer (Victor) and Charles (Joyce); siblings: Jacquelyn Aragona (Joseph), Joyce Casella, David Krom and Rocky (Kathy) Krom. Jane is also survived by 13 of the most amazing Grandchildren, eight Great Grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
