Nina Maria Ricco

Nina was born in Brooklyn to Elisa and Henry Ricco. Loving sister of Robert and Henry Jr. Beloved aunt to Cristina, Victoria and Sofia, children of Robert and Alina Ricco. Beloved aunt to Jessica and Joseph, children of Henry Jr. and Sherry Ricco. Nina was timeless and elegant, selfless and passionate, but above all, an inspiration to everyone who knew her. She worked for Pan AM airline's, and traveled the world, visiting Europe, Asia and even Africa. Nina was a person of faith and lived life serving others. Her strength and wisdom were quite remarkable, even in her last days, that were surrounded by her closest family. A quote that she left us with before she passed: “It does not matter how many years you spend on this earth, but what you accomplish while you are here.” We will admire and look up to Nina always, and she will remain in our hearts forever.
