Barbara A. Giaquinto

June 8, 1945 - February 21, 2020

​Barbara passed away peacefully from this life on February 21, 2020, after a heroic two-year battle with cancer. She was surrounded and guided by her three beloved daughters, Barbara Ann, Kim and Lisa, as well as her very special niece, Danielle Pascale and very special friend Christine Kern ​In her final moments, they whispered their love and devotion as Barbara walked through Heaven’s gate, into the loving arms of her husband, Vincent Giaquinto and the long awaited arms of her deeply missed mother, Ruth and her father, Edward. ​Peacefulness instilled her daughters, niece and friend as they felt Barbara reach the arms of God and her loving family. She is walking again with no pain or unhappiness ever to be felt again. We love you always Mommy and Aunty. ​Barbara was born in the Bronx, NY on June 8, 1945. She was raised and survived by her sisters, Judith, and MaryAnn. They lived in the same two family home that their father, Edward (AKA POP-POP) was raised in. After she and Vincent (AKA Big Vin) were married and had their first daughter, Barbara Ann, they returned to live in her childhood home. They raised their three daughters in the two family home- along with Barbara’s parents, two sisters, and niece. Her life always encircled her family. ​Barbara is survived by her wonderful son-in-laws, Frank Triassi and John Caroppoli, as well as her niece, Danielle’s husband, Trevor Saccente, and their child, her great nephew, Eddie. ​The lights of her life were her seven grandchildren- Genine, Frankie, Kimberly, Alyssa, Nicole, Deanna and John. Her grandchildren brought a complete and utter happiness to her life. She loved every minute with them and she was not only an extremely loving “Gram” - she was funny! She would try anything with them, and was an incredibly great sport, as they would love to joke with her. Forever in our hearts Gram. ​Please join us in celebrating her life at Yorktown Funeral Home. ​Sunday , February 23: 5:00 – 9:00 ​Monday, February 24: 2-4 & 7-9 ​Tuesday, February 25: 10 AM Mass at Holy Spirit in Peekskill
