CONSIGLIA R. CLAYDON

 
CONSIGLIA R. CLAYDON  (Age 85)   
On October 8, 2014 Consiglia "Connie" Ricucci Claydon passed from this life to be with her Lord following a massive stroke. Connie was a lifelong resident of the Washington area, with the exception of a three year residence in Japan with her husband and children. She was a long-time member of the Plymouth Haven Baptist Church in the Mt. Vernon area. She was also an active member for many years of the Waynewood Garden and Women's Clubs as well as a volunteer at the Mt. Vernon Hospital. Connie touched many lives, young and old. Connie was the daughter of Louis and Michelina Ricucci who emigrated to the United States in 1914 from Italy. She was proud of her Italian heritage and the accomplishments of her parents. A visit to her parent's home in the mountains near the Adriatic coast was a high point in her life. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, who cherished her family. She will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched. Connie is survived by her husband, Robert; son Brian; daughter Janice; daughter-in-law, Marlene; son-in-law, Matthew; and grandchildren, Elizabeth, Daniel, and Catherine. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, and grand-nephews. Friends may call at the Demaine Funeral Home, 520 S.
