Marcy
M.E. (Carol) Gallicchio, "29 and holding", of Marcy, a devoted and loving Nana to all who knew her, passed away Sunday, January 17, 2010, after a lengthy illness, at Faxton-St. Luke's Healthcare Center, with her loving family by her side. She was born in Mount Carmel, IL, the daughter of the late Walter and Hannah Adams Campbell, and was educated in Mount Carmel schools. She married the love of her life Dan J. Gallicchio in 1967 in Las Vegas, NV. After a loving union of 24 years, he predeceased her in 1991. Along with her husband, Mrs. Gallicchio owned and operated Gallicchio Bowling Supply in Utica and Gallicchio International in Marcy. She was a parishioner of Mt. Mark's Church in North Utica. Carol enjoyed a full and active life tending to her lawn and gardens, and especially cooking and baking for all her grandchildren and Angel Babies (great-granddaughters). Thanks to Barefoot Contessa, cupcakes became a specialty of hers. She is survived by a daughter, Nancy Dumas of Syracuse; three grandchildren and their spouses, David and Cindy Hawkes of TN, Dan and Tricia Hawkes of Marcy and Dawn and Jim Cheyne of Marcy; four great-grandchildren, Ashley, Kyleigh, Emily and Sydney; a sister, Roberta McKenzie of IL; a brother, Dale Campbell of IL; her special "adoptive" families, the Ferguson's of Utica, the Sergott's of Marcy, the Preuss's of Syracuse and the Keller's of MI; and several nieces and nephews. The funeral will be Friday at 11 a.m. at the Bentz & Amodio Funeral Service, Inc., 470 French Rd., Utica/New Hartford, with Rev. Lucian Urbaniak officiating. Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery. Calling hours are Thursday evening from 6-8. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to The Pines at Utica and the entire staff of Faxton-St. Luke's Healthcare Center for all their exceptional care and compassion.
