Maria Riccomini, born on March 16, 1928, peacefully left this world on November 15, 2025. She was a devoted wife, beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who dedicated her life to her family. Maria's warmth and love were evident in the countless gourmet meals she prepared, each one reflecting her passion for cooking. She had a wonderful flair for fashion, always expressing herself with style and grace.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Rino Riccomini, and her dear brother, Giovanni Bianchi, both of whom held a special place in her heart. Maria leaves behind a legacy of love in her children, Selina Riccomini, Alex Riccomini and Louis Riccomini, and her grandchildren Claudia Del Fiacco (Jonathan Soeder), Lydia Riccomini, Emilia Riccomini and Elena Riccomini. Her great-grandchildren Luca Soeder, Cristian Soeder and Scarlett Soeder brought great joy in her later years. Maria also cherished the time she spent with her nephews, Joe Bianchi Torres, John Bianchi (deceased), Paul Bianchi and Mark Bianchi.
As the heart of the family, Maria’s spirit lives on in the lives she shaped and in the traditions she lovingly instilled. Her kindness, strength and generosity will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
