Ruth Dalia Attanasio, affectionately known as “Cuchy”, passed away peacefully on April 6, 2020. She was 83 years old. Her death from Alzheimer’s disease was complicated by COVID-19…

Ruth worked as a switchboard operator at AT&T and then behind the counter of Isham Park Pharmacy and Rite Aid Pharmacy, on Broadway in Inwood. Ruth brought compassion and humor to the hundreds of people she served. Ruth passed on her love of Shirley Temple movies to her daughters. It was a special event for Ruth to take her grandchildren to their first movie or Broadway musical.
