Theresa “Terry” Orrico (nee Miele) age 76 passed into eternal life on Monday, August 30th, 2009 at Chilton Memorial Hospital, in Pompton Plains.
Terry was born in Passaic, New Jersey to Emidio “Jimmy” and Anna Miele (nee Coppola). She was a graduate of Passaic High School. In 1955 she married a handsome young attorney, Anthony (Tony) J. Orrico , and moved to Wayne. Terry and Tony enjoyed many years involved in Passaic County politics and UNICO, often hosting Easter “Vigilias” and beefsteaks. Terry and Tony raised their two beloved children, David and Suzanne in Wayne, where Tony eventually became the town’s public defender, or as Terry put it, “The Clarence Darrow of Wayne.” Terry was predeceased by Tony on September 30, 1988, after 33 years of marriage.
Terry worked for the Wayne Township Building Department for 20 years, retiring in 1999. She enjoyed the friends and fellowship she encountered while working there. Most of all, Terry was proud of her children and grandchildren, and she would often entertain them with stories of youthful summers spent with cousins in Lake Ronkonkoma, New York, or down the Jersey shore. She was proud of her Italian heritage, and fiercely proud of the accomplishments of her father, “jimmy”, a self made man, who as a young Italian immigrant started a successful barber shop in Passaic.
Terry leaves behind her son, David, of Avon-By-The-Sea, a daughter-in-law, Teresa Orrico and three grandsons, Joseph, Jack and Pete, all of Aiken, South Carolina, a grandson, Michael Orrico of Layton, New Jersey, a beloved daughter, Suzanne Haneveld and her husband ,Tom, and their three children, Nicolas, Carli and Cami, all of Wayne, a sister, Christina Ciarlo of Wayne, her brother, James Miele and his wife, Linda, of Cowan Heights, California, a sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Catherine and Jack Cancalosi of Paramus, New Jersey. Terry also leaves behind many cherished nieces and nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews.
She was predeceased by her loving husband, Anthony, her dear companion, Anton Ushkevich, and her cherished brother-in-law, Carmine Ciarlo.
