Barbara Ceconi
Her Legacy Will Inspire All Who Knew Her

Barbara was born October 23, 1958 to Lucille (DeCarlo) and Arthur Ceconi in North Tarrytown, New York. She graduated from Pocantico Hills Central School, Sleepy Hollow High School, and earned a B.A. from Amherst College and MSW from Boston College.
Barbara lived her adult life in the Boston area, mostly in Brookline, a community she loved and embraced and it genuinely embraced her.
Barbara is survived by her brothers Arthur Ceconi Jr. of Montville, NJ and Tom Ceconi of Fairfield, CT, an aunt, Joan (DeCarlo) Sypher of Mahopac, NY, her sisters-in-law, Eileen (Martyn) Ceconi and Connie (Fiengo) Ceconi, nieces, Lisa, Moira, Anne, Eileen, Christa, Sophia, nephew Sam, and numerous cousins and friends.
