Ilene Cavicchia

Ilene Cavicchia went home to be with the Lord on the evening of October 21, 2025.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 68 years, Richard “Rich” Cavicchia, her beloved daughter Renee, and her sons Gregory (Janelle), Lenny (Debbie), and Rick. Ilene was a proud and cherished grandmother to Lauren (Guy Faulkner) Spelman, Nicole Cavicchia, Stephanie (Chris Maith) Thompson, Brittany O’leary, James Spelman, Michael (Emily “Mary-Joe”) Spelman, and Tyler Cavicchia. She was also blessed with two great-grandchildren, MacKenzie and Isaiah Thompson, who brought her great joy. She also leaves behind her beloved cousin Virginia “Ginny” Matteo, and brother Wayne (Carol) Walker. As well as many nieces and nephews.

She is preceded by her parents Allen C. & Margaret Rebecca Wilson, brothers Clyde (Em), Jack (Dorothy), Mort (Babe), Charles “Chuckie” (Andrea), Howard “Moe” (Loretta), and sisters Verna (Tippy) Walker, and Garnet (Walt) Gilly.

She found joy in the simple pleasures of life—shopping for the perfect find, sharing lunches and laughter with dear friends, and savoring her nightly ice cream. She greatly loved country music– especially the Grand Ole Opry. Ilene will be remembered for her warmth, strength, and deep love for her family. Her presence will be dearly missed but her memory will live on in all who knew and loved her.

Ilene’s kindness, devotion to family, and radiant spirit will continue to inspire all who knew her. Her legacy of love and faith will live on through the generations she so deeply cherished.
