Eloise "Ellie" Carucci Mettler

Eloise (Ellie) Carucci Mettler (nee Crimi) of Montebello, NY was born on April 9, 1946 and died on March 10, 2023 at Holy Name Hospital’s Hospice unit after a brief illness, surrounded by her loving family and friends. She is survived by her three adoring daughters Lauren Johnson of Congers, NY (Michael), Lisa Lancia (Robert), and Lynda Babaian (Greg) both of Oakland, NJ. She is also survived by her five amazing grandchildren, who were her absolute treasures: Emily Lancia, John Lancia, Meaghan Johnson, Cole Babaian and Tyler Babaian. She is also survived by her devoted brother and sister-in-law, Dennis and Lynne Crimi of Saratoga, NY and and her nephews, Robert and Brad Crimi. In addition, she is survived by her step-daughters, Samantha Kowalczyk, Marlo McPartland and Mindy Spiegel. She was predeceased by her parents, Fred and Gertrude Crimi, husbands, John Carucci and James Mettler, son-in-law Keith Johnson and niece, Jennifer Crimi and step-daughter, Michelle Machado. Ellie graduated from Woodlands High School, Hartsdale, NY in 1964 and attended Rider College, later becoming a teaching assistant at Kakiat Junior High School until her retirement in 1996. Ellie was a warm, gracious and engaging soul and everyone who encountered her fell instantly in love with her. Her favorite pastimes were spending time with her family and friends, renovating and decorating homes, doing DIY projects and being an active parishioner of All Souls Church in Suffern, NY, where she met a group of wonderful women, whom she referred to as her “sisters.” Every Thursday night, she hosted them for dinner and Bible Study at her home. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the wonderful staff at Holy Name Hospital Hospice, who took incredible care of Ellie and her family: https://www.villamarieclaire.org/ways-to-give.aspx#Giving.
