Carol Bochicchio, 92, of Holmdel passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 7, 2026.  She was born and raised in Brooklyn.  Carol later made her home in several communities she held dear, including the Great Kills section of Staten Island, as well as Colts Neck and Freehold.

Above all else, Carol cherished time spent with her family. She was a devoted mother and a beloved grandmother and great grandmother, affectionately known as both Nonna and Grandma.  Her home was always filled with love, laughter, and the comforting aroma of her cooking, as she took great joy in preparing meals and entertaining those she loved.  Carol had a passion for traveling and found special happiness during the Christmas season, which she celebrated with enthusiasm and warmth.  She also loved gardening and could often be found tending to her plants or delighting in feeding the birds and squirrels that visited her yard.
