Julia R. Greco

Julia R. Greco, 105, passed away unexpectedly, Saturday, July 23, 2022, at Lourdes Hospital.

She was predeceased by her parents, Dominick and Mary Greco, her sisters Anna (Carlo) Roma, Minnie (Louis) DiFulvio, Catherine (Nick) English, Angie (John) Dellos, Lillian (Joe) Pisani and her brother Sam (Rose) Greco. Although she never had any children, she loved her many nieces and nephews as her own. She was also very proud to be an aunt to three additional generations of nieces and nephews who she adored. Children always put a big smile on her face.

Our precious, Aunt Julia will be dearly missed by family, close friends, and her St. Anthony Church family where she was a life-long member. Living for 100 years in a house just down the street from the parish, St. Anthony's became the center of her long and special life. She was a member and served as secretary of Catholic Daughters, was a leader for many years of St. Anthony's Girl Scouts and sang in the choir. She loved her Café group and spending mornings after church having coffee and chatting.

Aunt Julia lived through two pandemics, WWII (where she served in several home front efforts) and saw the advent of planes, cars, television, computers, etc. She never missed a baptism, wedding, birthday, or graduation. When there was a party, you could count her in! She loved to travel and exercise. She loved her home where the coffee was always on, and all were welcomed. Her love of clothes, shoes, jewelry, and purses is well known. She made the absolute best biscotti but never liked sharing the exact secret recipe. She worked hard all her life but never complained! She retired from IBM where she was a secretary for many years and was proud that she took many night classes to improve her skills.

Our Aunt Julia was devoted to the Blessed Mother and said the rosary every day.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, July 27, at 5:00 pm at St. Anthony of Padua Church, 306 Odell Ave., Endicott with Fr. Ken Kirkman officiating. Viewing hours will be at St. Anthony's Church on Wednesday from 3:30 until time of service. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery, Johnson City, NY at the convenience of the family.

In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy in Julia's memory may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or the St. Anthony's Food Pantry.
