Obituary for Victoria Ann "Vicki" Ragnoni (Zaremba)
Victoria A. Ragnoni passed away peacefully, surrounded by love on Friday, November 29th, 2019 after a long illness.
Vicki was born in Schenectady, NY to her parents, the late Victor F. and Josephine M. (Suraci) Zaremba.
Vicki was a graduate of Linton High School and Schenectady County Community College. Vicki spent 38 successful years in the banking industry, and Vicki relocated to Connecticut in 1985 and embarked on a wonderful new chapter of her life.
Vicki was deeply loved by her friends and family and was known for her kindness, generosity of spirit, and sense of humor. She enjoyed reading, cooking, crocheting and knitting. Her most cherished moments were spent watching her niece and nephews grow into fine young adults.
Vicki was the beloved wife and true love of Daniel F. Ragnoni, husband of 29 years. He will miss her dearly.
She is survived by her dearly loved mother-in-law and father-in-law, Eileen and Dan Ragnoni, her sister JoAnn Taylor and her husband, Steven, her sister-in-law Mary Kate Eanniello and her husband, Victor, and her brother-in-law John Ragnoni and his wife, Liz. She also leaves her niece and nephews who were her “pride and joy”, Molly Eanniello, Victor Eanniello, Trevor Taylor, Max Eanniello, Jason Taylor, Jack Ragnoni, Michael Ragnoni, and TJ Ragnoni. Vicki is also survived by her aunts, Frances White and Candida Suraci and many dear cousins.
We are eternally grateful to the many nurses and aides who provided loving care to Vicki at home, especially Esther Jeffrey, Juliette Grant and Faithlyn Cunningham-Richards. The family would like to thank Dr. Pat and Carol McDermott for their years of wonderful care and compassion for Vicki. We would also like to thank the nursing staff of Hartford Hospital’s CB2 and Katie Lepak of the Palliative Care team for their devoted hospice care and helping us celebrate Vicki’s life and final days.
