Flora Fiacco Obituary

Fiacco, Flora EAST GREENBUSH Flora Fiacco passed away peacefully at her residence surrounded by her loving family on May 25, 2021. Born in Torrice, Italy, she was the daughter of the late Gerardo and Maria Quattrocchi. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Valentino Fiacco Sr. Flora dearly loved her children, Valentino Jr. (Roxanne), Robert (Candace), Paul (Nicole) and Daniel (Jana). She cherished her grandchildren, Erika, Juliana, Kylar, Marissa, Nino, Melissa, and Mark. Flora will be missed by her loving siblings, Matilde (late James) Mahar, Guido (Maria) and Flavio Quattrocchi; dear sister-in-law, America (late Sebastiano) Cardazzi and many nieces and nephews. Flora was a devout Catholic and communicant of St. John the Evangelist for over 50 years. She was past president of the St. Anthony Society, member of the Rosary-Altar Society and an active choir member for many years. Flora's true passion and commitment in life was to her family. One of the many gift's Flora bestowed upon her children and grandchildren was the significance of celebrating birthdays and holidays together and emphasizing the true importance of family. She was an excellent cook and loved to prepare and gather all for Sunday family dinners. She also treasured her friendships. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting and time with friends playing bingo. She expressed her love to all in so many ways, through words of encouragement and guidance and loving unconditionally. Flora touched many lives with her compassion, kindness and genuine caring. We will be forever grateful and blessed for the love, praise, and devotion she gave to all. The funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, May 29, at 9:30 a.m. in the Church of St. Mary at Clinton Heights, 163 Columbia Tpke., Rensselaer. The funeral service will be live-streamed on both the St. John/St. Joseph and the Church of St. Mary's Facebook pages and YouTube channels for a subsequent amount of time for those unable to attend the service. Relatives and friends are invited and may call to the Church of St. Mary on Friday, from 4-7 p.m. Interment will be in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, East Greenbush. Memorial contributions in Flora's memory may be made to a charity of one's choice. Arrangements have been entrusted by the family to the W.J. Lyons, Jr. Funeral Home, Inc.
