Nancy Kolasz Obituary
Nancy was a proud graduate of Rome Free Academy, Class of 1967, where she enjoyed being a member of the cheerleading squad. On January 21, 1983, she married the love of her life, Aquilino William Kolasz Sr.
For 42 years, Nancy devoted her career to the CNYDSO, where she cared deeply for each of her clients and built lasting friendships with her coworkers. She will be remembered for her compassion, dedication, and ability to brighten the lives of those around her.
A woman of many joys, Nancy was an avid bocce player and enjoyed bowling in her younger years. A devout Catholic, her life was guided by kindness, generosity, and unwavering faith. She was an active member of St. John the Baptist Church, where she found strength, purpose, and community.
Nancy's greatest pride was her family, who will forever cherish her love and devotion. She is survived by her daughters, Tonya M. Trificana, and Danielle (Matthew) Lubecki ; her son, Aquilino W. (Amanda) Kolasz Jr.; and her adored grandchildren: Michael A. Henderson, Matteo J. Lubecki, Alexandria M. Lubecki, Shay J. Kolasz, Marcus W. Lubecki, and Van W. Kolasz. She is also survived by her sister Donna Schebel (Howard Noethiger); sister-in-law Elizabeth Iodice; sister and brother-in-law Dr. Tom and Sandra Dale, PA; brothers-in-law Stanley J. Kolasz and Roger Trificana, as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins. She was predeceased by her parents, husband Aquilino, sister Diane Iodice, brother Richard Iodice, and first husband, Robert Trificana.
Nancy's legacy of love, beauty, and faith will continue to live on in all who were blessed to know her.

I am so saddened to hear of Nancy´s passing. For many years we had the best work relationship. I´ve had many employees over the years None who were more kind and dedicated then Nancy. We shared our family´s stories and laughed together. Her love of her family was so obvious The smile when she saw her brother Dick at work. My sincere condolences to all her loved ones. I am away today but know in my heart that Nancy´s service will be beautiful just like her
