Carol DeCamilla Tripi At the age of 77, Carol DeCamilla Tripi of Charlotte, peacefully joined our heavenly father on March 20, 2024, in Greece, NY. Carol was born to A.

Tripi Esquire (Renee Peck), Terri Ann Cuccurullo (Dennis), Kristina Strauss; her grandchildren, Alexander Strauss (Kris Treanor), Jolynn Tripi, Hudson Tripi, Noah Cuccurullo, and Lilly Cuccurullo.

She worked for Planned Parenthood as a rape crisis counselor for over 20 years making a difference to all that she touched. Carol had a passion for gardening, flowers, and all things beautiful. Her beauty and kindness shined from the inside out. She will be missed dearly on this earth while she carries us from above.

    Our hearts are so sadden for you and your family. I read this quote a long time ago and I think these words perfectly describe the loving relationship between you and Carol. "A virtuous spouse adds years to your life, a wise one adds decades, but a loving one adds an eternity to your life." All our love, Russ and Joyce.

    Sweet Carol was a beautiful childhood friend right from kindergarten. I remember sitting right behind her in first grade at Holy Cross. I used to wish my hair was like hers as it was perfectly styled every day, by her equally beautiful mom, Helen. I’m so sorry for her suffering these past years…. We were able to gather a few years ago with several other friends from HC. We had lunch in our beloved Charlotte, at Hose 22, and then to Abbotts after for custard. It was a wonderful mini reunion and Carol was thrilled to be there, especially with her loving friend Kathy. So grateful for that special time. My deepest sympathy to her family… how blessed she was to have a devoted husband by her side for so many years. Rest in peace sweet Carol….

    Carol was a remarkable person who I first met in 2013 when I joined Planned Parenthood. Her big heart was visible to all who worked with her. She always had a kind word and a smile for her colleagues. As a leader and member of the sexual assault services team, Carol truly made the world a better place. I am so sorry for your loss. My heart aches for y’all. I wish I could give my condolences to you in person but I know you don’t need me to tell you what an amazing person Carol was and all the good she shared. Thank you for sharing Carol with us!

    To Carol’s family: I just learned of Carol’s passing yesterday and needed to extend my sincere condolences. I worked for several years with Carol at the [then] Rape Crisis Service of Planned Parenthood and recall many things about her, in particular her wonderful laugh. I hope that each day brings you a measure of peace and comfort.
    Sincere regards
