Lillian Greco

Lillian Marie Greco passed away surrounded by the love of her family, leaving behind a legacy of devotion, kindness, faith, and unconditional love. A cherished mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, and friend, Lillian touched the lives of all who knew her with her warmth, generosity, and unwavering dedication to her family. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Lillian attended St. Agnes School and later earned her High School Diploma before continuing her education at the Katherine Gibbs School of Business. She served as Vice President and Secretary of JG Pools & Spa, where her hard work, dedication, and commitment contributed to the success of the family business. On June 9, 1962, Lillian married the love of her life, John B. Greco. Together they built a beautiful life centered on faith, family, and love. Their marriage was blessed with four children: John, Joseph, Victoria, and James. Lillian was predeceased by her beloved husband, John B. Greco, in 2019, as well as her brother-in-law, Dominic Gangemi. She is survived by her loving children, John, Joseph, Victoria, and James; her treasured grandchildren, Joseph, James, Peter, and Gabriella; her devoted sister, Joyce Gangemi; and her beloved daughters-in-law, Patti Ann Greco and Maria Greco. She also leaves behind many extended family members and friends who will forever cherish her memory. A devoted Roman Catholic, Lillian was active with Catholic Charities and lived her faith through acts of kindness, compassion, and service to others. Though she never considered it a job, one of her greatest roles in life was being a full-time grandmother. Her grandchildren were among her greatest joys, and she treasured every moment spent with them. Lillian's passions included playing the piano, cooking, and creating a welcoming home for family and friends. Whether it was a major holiday celebration or an ordinary weeknight dinner, her home was always filled with love, laughter, and the aroma of a home-cooked meal. Family gatherings around her dining room table became treasured traditions, and countless memories were made over crumb cake and coffee at the kitchen table, where conversations flowed freely and everyone felt heard and loved. Those who knew Lillian will remember her as an extraordinary woman whose love knew no bounds. She was always concerned for the well-being of her children and grandchildren, consistently putting the needs of others before her own. Every holiday was celebrated with enthusiasm and joy because family traditions were sacred to her. Her favorite saying, 'Don't put off to tomorrow what you can do today,' reflected the practical wisdom she shared throughout her life. Whenever her family sought advice, comfort, or guidance, Lillian was always there with thoughtful words and a caring heart. Lillian will be remembered for her unconditional love for her family, her joyful holiday gatherings, her many blessings, and the constant prayers she offered for those she loved. Her presence was a gift, her home a sanctuary, and her love the foundation upon which generations of her family were built. Though her family will miss her dearly, they find comfort in the countless memories she leaves behind and in the enduring example of faith, strength, and love that she lived every day.
