Caroline K

Chiocco

Caroline K. Chiocco passed away peacefully on October 4, 2024 just two days after her 94th birthday.  Caroline was born on October 2, 1930 to Bertha and Alfred Keller and grew up in Union City.  After marrying George Chiocco, Sr., who predeceased her, she lived most of her life on Fairview Terrace in West New York, NJ.

Caroline was a devoted and loving mother to her daughter Leslie and her sons John and George, Jr. and his wife Kimberly.  She was a loving grandmother to her granddaughter Ava.  She is also survived by her brother, Alfred John Keller, her sister-in-law Jeanette Keller, and her sister-in-law Dorothy Chiocco and many cherished nieces and nephews who she loved. Her brother Ralph Keller passed away two years ago.

Caroline valued her many friends and is survived by some of her lifelong friends, notably Lynn Jarvis (friends since they were 14), Viola LaCroce (friends since they were 9), Dorothy Van Glahn, and her wonderful Fairview Terrace friends, Evelyn Suiter and Rosemary Siciliano.  She truly cherished these wonderful friends as well as the many friends who predeceased her.  Caroline enjoyed spending time with her friends and was always there to lend a helping hand.  She also enjoyed their many travel adventures.

Caroline held many jobs throughout her life but the one she loved the most was being a babysitter. For 20+ years, she was like a beloved grandmother to the children she watched.

She was an overwhelmingly kind and caring person who volunteered at Englewood Hospital for 18 years. Caroline will be missed and will be forever in our hearts.

Services will be held at A.K. Macagna Funeral Home on Tuesday, October 8th from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
