Mom passed away on February 28, 2016, at the age of 86 years. She was the mother of six children: Patricia Arcilla, Delia Collazo, John Koch (deceased), Norma O'Connor Serio, Kathleen
Campione, and William Koch. She is survived by 23 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild. She has held many occupations in her lifetime, the last being she worked as a CNA until her retirement, but her greatest occupation was that of Mother. She was also ready and willing to help anyone whether they were immediate family or her extended family which could include just about everyone! My mother was always full of laughter and could brighten anyone's day with her smile. She was an exceptional woman and so very unique. Her wish was to leave this earth with as little fanfare as possible, and so it is her wish to be cremated, that there be no viewing or funeral, and that she be laid to rest next to the love her life, Carl Cooper, in Florida at a later date.
