Victoria Rose "Vicki" Leri

Victoria "Vicki" Rose (Milaski) Leri, 90, of Endicott, passed away peacefully on November 13, 2025, finally being reunited with her beloved husband, Vince, after 25 long years apart.

Along with her husband, Vince, Vicki was predeceased by her mother and father, Chester and Anna Milaski, sister-in-law Beverly Milaski, mother-in-law, Irene "Beezy" Leri, close cousin and lifelong friend, Philomena Grassi Hubble, as well as countless other aunts, uncles, cousins, and beloved friends, all whom most definitely were waiting to reunite with her at the gates of heaven.

Vicki is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Renee and Timothy Mancini, and son, Vincent Leri Jr. Also surviving Vicki are her grandchildren (whom she treated like gold), Erica and Dave Robinson, and Austin Leri, and great-grandson, Vincent Robinson.

Vicki is survived by her "baby" brother, Joseph Milaski, and her adored nieces, aka "the girls", Jennifer, Alison and Janelle, and their families. Vicki is also survived by her remaining treasured lifelong friends since grade school, Dolly Escovar and Geri Wallace, as well as best friend and neighbor, Kay Hamden.

Vicki was a lifelong nurse, caring for many people throughout the years at both Ideal Hospital and Binghamton General Hospital. Vicki was a faithful parishioner at St. Anthony's of Padua Church in Endicott, and dedicated volunteer at the St. Anthony's Food Pantry for years. If you knew Vicki, you know she was always impeccably dressed with perfectly done hair (courtesy of Dolly, every Friday morning) and loved a half glass of white wine. Though her family will miss her beyond words, we know she has been waiting to see her honey again.

Vicki's family wishes to thank the dedicated staff at both Ideal Senior Living Center and Absolut Center for Rehab and Nursing for their love and care over the last 7 years. Special thank you to Danielle Testani NP, and Absolut staff Bernice, Lexi, Chrissy, Lisa G, and Jim C (and truly everyone) for treating her like family, with such love and care over the last few years.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday November 19th at 11:00 AM at the Leon Pucedo Funeral Home, Inc. 1905 Watson Blvd. Endicott, NY 13760. Burial will follow in Calvary Cemetery, Johnson City, NY. The family will receive friends at the Pucedo Funeral Home on Wednesday from 10:00 AM until time of service at 11:00 AM.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Mercy House of the Southern Tier, or St. Anthony's food pantry.
