Obituary

November 18, 2019: from Vita's daughter, Marie: I have attached some of the narrative from my mother’s obituary:
March 2, 1939 - August 22, 2019
Vita (Vicki) Ceccacci was born Vita Papas in Brooklyn, NY on March 2, 1939 to Peter J. Pappas and Catherine DeSimone
She was the youngest of 3 sisters (Tina and Ann)
After graduating from Bay Ridge High School she spent a year at Brooklyn College.
On August 10, 1957, Vicki met and fell in love with John Ceccacci at a friend’s house in Marlboro, New York. They later married on February 21st 1960 and moved to Oceanside on Long Island, NY.
Their daughter Maria G. Ceccacci was born in 1962 and their daughter Catherine A. Susch was born in 1964.
They moved out of their Oceanside apartment to a house in Deer Park, NY in 1965 where they remained until 1999.
In the 1980’s, Vicki worked as a Medical Assistant for a Doctor's office and later after going back to school for a certificate as a legal secretary she worked at Kemper Insurance for 12 years before taking an early retirement.
In 1999 she and John fully retired and moved to Timber Pines Community in Spring Hill, FL where she was very active playing Mahjongg, taking Cruises and enjoying time with good friends. She was a true fighter, warrior, worrier, funny lady and wise woman.
