Vincenza “Vicki” Biribin

Vincenza “Vicki” Biribin, 73, passed away peacefully on October 18, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on January 31, 1953, in Suffern, NY to Philip and Nataline (Antonini) Cataldi, Vicki proudly grew up in Haverstraw and Stony Point, NY. She attended St. Peter’s School and graduated from North Rockland High School. She went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Ramapo College and a Master’s degree in International Politics and Economic Development from Fordham University. Later in life, reflecting her enduring love of learning, she returned to Ramapo College and earned a second Bachelor’s degree, this time in Accounting. Vicki began her career with Trickle Up, a nonprofit organization in New York City. She later became Director of Finance for the Rockland Teachers’ Center, where she dedicated 25 years of service before retiring in June 2026.

On December 18, 1971, Vicki married the love of her life, Rich. She enjoyed traveling, especially on cruises, to Disney, and to the Jersey shore. She also loved to read, go to the movies, hike, and spend time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She loved having coffee with her son and going shopping with her daughters.

Vicki is survived by her three children, Gia Groeling (Bill), Jessi Guerra, and Paul Biribin (Bri). She is also survived by her grandchildren Emily, Will, Gianna, Isabella, Sophia, Logan, Owen, and Grace, who were everything to her. Vicki is also survived by her three brothers, Michael Cataldi, Philip Cataldi (Carolyn), and Joseph Cataldi (Maria) and many nieces and nephews, who she loved deeply. She was preceded in death by her husband Rich, her son-in-law, Jerry Guerra and sister-in-law, Angela Cataldi.

Vicki will be remembered for the many lessons she taught, her unconditional love, her strength, and her unwavering devotion to her family. Her memory will remain forever in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

Services will be private and Vicki will be laid to rest with her beloved husband.
