Ninety-five year old Madeline Giacopino died peacefully on November 9, 2011 after living a long and happy life.
Madeline was the loving wife of 67 years to the late Frank Giacopino (2009); loving mother of Lorraine LaShell and her “favorite son-in-law” Bill of Wayne, NJ; cherished grandmother of Bill Jr. LaShell of Fair Lawn, NJ, David LaShell and Amanda Lawson of Florham Park, and Nancy Spencer and her husband David of San Diego, CA; beloved great-grandmother of Nicholas and Alexander LaShell of Florham Park, NJ, and Eowyn and Crystar LaShell of Summit, NJ; beloved sister of Helen McAllister of Flushing, NY; devoted aunt of Kevin McAllister and Catherine McAllister of Flushing, NY, RoseMary Omanoff and her husband Bill of Woodbury, NY, Cheryl Naclerio of Kent, England, and Lorraine Sing of Morristown, NJ. She was predeceased by both her brothers, Michael Naclerio of the Bronx, NY and Louis Naclerio of London, England.
Madeline was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. After emigrating to America from Italy, Madeline’s parents opened a grocery store in the South Bronx. The whole family worked at the store, often taking their horse and wagon to buy supplies and sundries. The store was a neighborhood favorite.
Madeline was a shy girl. She and Frank met at a reunion of their parents who were from the same village in Italy. Frank pursued Madeline until she agreed to marry him.
In 1962 Madeline and Frank bought a home in Flushing, Queens, not far from Madeline’s sister and her family. They spent 24 happy years in Flushing before relocating to Leisure Village West in Lakehurst, NJ. The years at Leisure Village were some of her best as she made wonderful friends and enjoyed an active social life. In 2005 Madeline and Frank moved to Wayne to be closer to their family.
Besides her family, Madeline’s greatest passion was cooking and her hobby grocery shopping; she loved to cook and bake, mostly traditional Italian meals, cookies and muffins. She would often cook for her friends and family and host large dinners at her home.
