Town of Florida- Ines M. Colucci, 49, died Tuesday at St. Peter’s Hospital, surrounded by her loving family, from leiomyosarcoma, a rare cancer.

She was a 1979 graduate of Linton High School, then attended Hudson Valley Community College and Schenectady County Community College, where she obtained an associates degree in Accounting. She worked at the Grand Union for 18 years and the Veolia Water North America Operating Services in Schenectady as an administrative assistant. She was a treasure to all who met her. Her smile and voice would put anyone at ease. She was a friend to all of God’s creatures. No animal around her would go unloved or unfed, be it domestic or wild, right down to her beloved fish and frogs. So gentle a spirit, she would capture a housefly and release it outside after making sure it was a safe place with plenty to eat.
