Maryland - Carol Lee LaCicero, a beloved resident of Glen Burnie, MD, since 2023 and formerly of Fishkill, NY, passed away peacefully on May 15, 2026, at Gilchrist Hospice in Columbia, MD, with her cherished daughter by her side. She was 77 years old.

Born on November 30, 1948, in Poughkeepsie, NY, Carol was the daughter of Howard and Emma (Haines) St. John. She spent most of her life in the scenic Hudson Valley, where she made lasting friendships. On April 21, 1968, Carol married the love of her life, Joseph LaCiciero, who predeceased her on May 12, 2022. Their bond was a testament to a life filled with love.

Carol dedicated many years of her life to her career as an Assistant Branch Manager at Key Bank, retiring from the Modena Branch Office. She attended Trinity Episcopal Church in Fishkill. Known for her warm and gentle spirit, Carol enjoyed walking in the Village of Fishkill with her loyal companion, Abby. She found joy in life's simple pleasures, whether solving challenging puzzles, spending quiet moments crocheting, or tending to her garden. Above all, her heart was devoted to her family and friends, especially her best friend and daughter, Velvet.

Carol is survived by her daughter, Velvet LaCicero Forson of Glen Burnie, MD; her sister, Patricia St. John of Potsdam, NY; her cherished nieces and nephews, Ed Patmore, Duane Dunham (Janine), Kristy Dunham, Cindy Dunham (Evelyn), Lorraine Lander (Eric), Jeannine Lafaro and Diana Lynn Fuchs; her beloved fur baby, Abby; and her granddog, Myles. In addition to her parents and her husband, Carol was predeceased by her sister, Diane Dolcemascolo.
