Virginia (Ginny) Iannucci, a lifelong resident of Millbrook, NY, lost her courageous battle with Alzheimer’s Disease and went to join the love of her life Gino on March 10, 2022. Ginny was born on July 7, 1937 to Josephine and Myron Clina. Virginia received her elementary education at a one room schoolhouse in Verbank, NY and then graduated from Millbrook High School in 1954 at the age of 16. She went on to attend the Krissler Business Institute in Poughkeepsie, NY.
Ginny married Gino on July 20th, 1957 at St. Joseph’s Church in Millbrook where she was an active member of the Women’s Guild and helped with many fundraisers for the Parochial School. Ginny cared deeply about her community and others, and even helped organize a trip to bring supplies to Tuscaloosa, AL after a tornado devastated the area.
Ginny raised 7 children and was able to run a household on a tight budget while making sure that all of her children had what they needed. She also made it possible to take her family on a beach vacation every year, where she loved walking on the beach and watching the waves.
Ginny was an accomplished seamstress. She sewed all of her daughter’s wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses as well as many outfits for her grandchildren. She could reupholster furniture and was always sewing cushions and curtains for family and friends. Ginny worked at St. Joseph’s Rectory, Roberts Douglas, and the Bank of Millbrook. She also started and ran Country Consignments in Millbrook for many years where she enjoyed buying and selling antiques and home furnishings with Gino. Ginny worked with Gino in running the Farmer’s Market and in later years would help him to harvest and sell his vegetables.
Ginny is predeceased by her husband Gino, her parents, Josephine and Myron Clina, her sister Barbara Moran, and infant grandson Vincent Iannucci.
Ginny is survived by her children: Mary Muroski (Ken), Peter Iannucci (Heather), Ann Marie Sciera (Dave), Thomas Iannucci (Pamela), Theresa Iannucci (Matthew), Paul Iannucci (Jessica) and foster daughter Rebecca Ramos Cummings. Ginny was a proud grandmother (Nanny) to 10 grandchildren: Jessica Santiago, Casey Iannucci, Elisabeth Fleming, Leanna Deagle, Jeffrey and Kate Sciera, Alyson and Lauren Chocianowski, Olivia and Owen Iannucci, and great-grandchildren John and Audrey Santiago and Hudson Fleming. She is also survived by her brother and sister-in-law Buzzy and Chris Clina and sister-in-law Fanny Turner. Ginny loved her family and friends dearly and leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins and lifelong friends.
We would like to express our deepest thanks to all of her caregivers over the past year, especially Michele, Isabelle, Kuukua, and Esther, as well as Kristi and the entire Hospice team.
Visitation will be held on Monday, March 14 from 4-7 pm at 3270 Franklin Ave. Millbrook. A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered on March 15 at 10:00 am at St. Joseph’s Church, Millbrook. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Hudson Valley Hospice at https://www.hvhospice.org/donate-now/.
