Frances Riccio (nee Smith), 90, of Belleville, N.J., passed away on Wednesday, June 20, 2012.

Arrangements are being handled by the LaMonica Memorial Home, Livingston, N.J. Frances was employed at Child's Restaurant as a hostess for over 20 years before retiring in the early 1960's to help manage her husband's career. She was a devout Catholic who was a member of St. Anthony's Church since her marriage there in 1943. Frances is survived by many loving nieces and nephews, including her niece/goddaughter, Mari Ippolito, and Patricia Riccio Sprague, Nicholas Guardabascio, Sondra Riccio Applegate, and Fred Riccio, and sisters-in-law, Mary Riccio Ippolito and Antionette (Muraglia) Riccio, and brother-in-law, Anthony Ippolito. She was predeceased by her husband, Vincent Riccio (Jidge Carroll); siblings, George Smith, Margaret "Peggy" Smith Foster, Alice Smith Kreiger, and Jeanne Smith Soyka, and her nephew/godson, Louis Guardabascio, and nephew, Anthony Riccio. Frances was a lifelong animal lover, so in lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to two charities for animals: Amy z Ark, c/o D. Ginn, 2871 Clifton Terrace, Chattanooga, Tenn., a grassroots dog rescue group that removes dogs from high kill shelters and places them in loving homes, or Paws for Patients at St. Barnabas Health Hospice and Palliative Care Center, 95 Old Short Hills Rd, West Orange, N.J. 07052, a service that provides certified therapy dog/handler teams for visits with hospice patients.
