Helen Tricoli

Helen Marie Tigue Tricoli, age 82, of Orlando, Fl passed into her heavenly eternal home on Wednesday March 6, 2019, surrounded by her loving family. Born on October 26, 1936 in Scranton, PA, she was the daughter of the late William James and Helen (Kohl) Tigue. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 53 years, John Anthony Tricoli, Jr.; and son, James Lawrence Tricoli.
Helen, affectionately known as GiGi by her great-grandchildren, enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She especially cherished moments with her grandchildren and created beautiful memories that will remain with them forever. Her generous heart filled her home with love, fun, great meals, and beautiful music. Special occasions were always highlighted by her angelic voice singing the song Summertime, her personal favorite. Helen's life was filled with many travels. Ireland was dear to her heart where she felt a close connection with her ancestors. A love of books and spending time with her dog and best friend, Finnegan, brought much joy to her life. She was an elegant lady who was loved by many and her presence will be truly missed.
Helen is survived by three sons, John A. Tricoli III (Joy), William J. Tricoli (Robin Yeager) and Christopher J. Tricoli; six grandchildren, William Tricoli II (Robbin), Maria Armstrong (Matt), Michael Tricoli (Kelsey), Christen Andreoni (Chris), John Tricoli IV and Anna Tricoli; three great-grandchildren, William Tricoli III, Samantha Tricoli, and Michael Tricoli II; and many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins.
