Mrs. Collucio was a wonderful neighbor when I was growing up, always willing to buy our girl scout cookies, christmas cards or whatever my sister & I were selling at the time. She was beautiful, interesting, a great conversationalist and had an infectious, warm laugh. She & Mr. Collucio were always a perfect addition to any gathering and were treasured friends to my parents for many years. To Mr. Collucio and the whole family, please accept our deepest condolences from our whole family. Mrs. Collucio will surely be missed.
