Nicolina A. Sokol, “Nikki”, passed away peacefully on February 14, 2025 at the age of 93, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Tuckahoe, NY on December 5, 1931 to Vincenzo and Antonetta Viola and married the love of her life, Joseph, on April 8, 1951.
Nikki was a wife, mother, sister and grandmother who after dedicating herself to raising
a family, went on to pursue a career first as a Yonkers School Crossing Guard, and then at Yonkers General Hospital (YGH) as a valued senior physical therapy aide for many years. Upon retirement, she enjoyed spending time at her second home in Florida, and returning to home base in Yonkers to dote on her grandchildren and great grandchildren and meeting up with her special circle of YGH friends. Her faith was also a very important part of her life.
Nikki is preceded in death by her beloved husband Joseph and cherished daughter JoAnne Cartelli. She is survived by children Linda Gaudio (Anthony), MaryLou Rosenoff (Evan), Joseph Sokol (Deidre), Susan Sellitto (Raymond), Janet Nuccilli (Carl), and 17 grandchildren & 16 great-grandchildren.
Nikki will be remembered for her generosity, quiet strength, and love of a good conversation.
