Jill A. Ciccone

Jill Ciccone, age 69, of Wilmington, DE, died peacefully on November 12, 2025, surrounded by her family.

Jill is survived by her loving husband of 46 years, Mickey Ciccone, her three daughters, Amy Ciccone (Harty), Dana Ciccone, and Kellie Ciccone (Sklut), and her sons-in-law, Michael Harty and Brian Sklut. She is further survived by her six beautiful grandchildren, Benjamin Harty, Cara Harty, Matthew Harty, Cameron Sklut, Shane Sklut, and Zachary Sklut as well as her sister, Beverly Pedelini and many beloved family and friends.

Jill loved time with family the most, especially her daughters and grandchildren. You could catch her on Sundays cooking and watching the Steelers. She loved traveling, reading a good book, outings with her friends, dinners out on the town with her husband, Mick, and her beloved dog Rosie.

Jill was most known for her strength and spirit. She was a loving wife, wonderful mother, and a great friend to many. Mom-Mom loved to spoil her grandchildren as they were her pride and joy.

    There are not enough words to describe Jill! A great friend, good lunch partner, always up for fun and giggles. Jill and Mick were so good to Steve who learned everything about a lung transplant he so valiantly wanted. Jill lived the best life she could, so loved. Who can say more.

    Mick, Amy, Dana and Kellie and your families, I send my deepest heartfelt sympathy for the loss of this beautiful strong woman, wife, mother, grandmother, who I had the honor of calling a very good and cherished friend for the past 53 years. It seems just like yesterday we were in high school with our high school sweethearts (your mother kept your father) going to proms and the beach. How quickly the years have passed. I loved Jill deeply and will always miss her presence knowing I can't pick up the phone and hear her voice and her giggle that always made me smile. Heaven gained an angel. I love you Jill. We all did.

    I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Jill was an extraordinary woman — thoughtful, steady, and quietly strong. Even after everything she had been through, she never made anything about herself. She simply faced life with grace and a kind heart. I’ll always remember how she stayed in touch with us even after we moved. That was her — always thinking of others, always showing up in her gentle way. She loved you, the girls, and her grandchildren with her whole heart. Family was her joy. Please know we are holding you close in my thoughts. If you need anything at all, we are here. Kathleen & Jim
