Bernice Lariccio

We recently learned that former Hermon resident, Bernice Lariccio, passed away on August 27, 2021 in Endicott, NY.

Bernice was the daughter of Carl and Eva Baker Tripp, born April 6, 1943 in Gouverneur, NY. She attended Gouverneur school and later schools on Long Island.

Bernice married Joseph Lariccio on February 1, 1965. The marriage ended in separation. Moving from the island to Deposit, NY, both worked for the state. Later, Joe and Bernie opened and operated a home for handicapped people in their Laurel Bank home. After their separation, Bernie continued to run the home for many years until an accident caused her to retire.

Bernice is survived by those that loved her and will miss her – a son, Carl of Binghamton, NY, sister Fay Stronach, sister-in-law Phyllis Tripp, and several nieces and nephews.

Her parents, four brothers Fred, Albert, Alex and Robert, and two sisters Jean and Louise passed before her.
