Jacqueline Mollica, 91, of Arlee, died peacefully on June 3.    She is survived by her daughter Donna and her son Paul.  Preceded in death by husband Donald, her son Joseph, sister Rita Ali and brother Frank Lanza.

Born in Brooklyn, New York to Carmella and Joseph Lanza, she lived in New York until her husband’s death in 2001 when she and Paul moved to Montana to be with her daughter.   The Arlee community provided friendship and support to Jackie.  For the past 3-1/2 years she has received wonderful care from the owners and staff at Closer to Home in St. Ignatius.

Jacqueline loved her work as a legal stenographer in the Rockland County District Attorney’s office.   She and her husband enjoyed ballroom dancing and were club level square dancers with Hi Tor Twirlers participating in exhibition dancing at the Worlds Fair in Queens.  

A Memorial mass will be held in New York in September.
