Adrienne (Riglioni) Torelli was born on July 16, 1943, in
Newburgh to Lillian (Davis) and Joseph Riglioni. She spent
her whole life in Newburgh. Adrienne (or "A" as she was
known to most) met Carman Torelli in high school and they
married on October 23, 1963. They would have celebrated
their 60th anniversary later this year. Carman and Adrienne
built a life at their home in the Town of Newburgh that they
moved to in 1973 and where they raised their two son
”Michael (Maureen) and Christopher. A was a licensed
cosmetologist who worked at a number of shops in the
Newburgh area, ending her career at Overtones. Things that
brought A joy: watching her sons play sports throughout
their school years; SHOES; shopping with her sister
(especially for a great sale!); summer vacations to LBI and
Rhode Island; time spent with family and friends in person
or on the phone; holidays--especially Christmas Eve and the
Feast of the Seven Fishes; a NY Yankees win; or, just
sitting on the deck watching the hummingbirds at the family
cabin in Andes, NY.
In addition to
her husband and sons, Adrienne is survived by her brothers,
Tony (Ginny) Riglioni and Joe (Sue) Riglioni; many nieces,
nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews who adored their "Aunt
A" and lifelong friend, Brenda Thom. She was predeceased by
her sister, Adonna Raab, her sister-in-law, Ernestine
Anderson, and her brothers in law, Jim Raab and Donald
Anderson.
Memorial visitation will be held on Thursday, June 1st from
4-7pm at T.S. Purta Funeral Home, 22 Glenmere Avenue,
Florida, NY 10921.
The family wishes to thank the staff of Valley View Glenmere
Ground and Hospice of Orange & Sullivan for the
kindnesses shown to A.
