Pandolfino (nee Montesano), Annette

Nov 28, 1935 - Oct 13, 2024

Buffalo, peacefully entered into rest at home on October 13, 2024; beloved wife of the late Joseph Pandolfino, devoted mother of Annette (Donald) Taylor and Joseph Pandolfino; cherished grandmother of Zachary (Izabela), Mitchell, Joseph, Luke, Rachel, Daniel, Robert (Valerie) and six great-grandchildren; loving daughter of the late Lawrence and Connie Montesano, dear sister of the late Lorraine White. Annette is survived by many nieces and nephews. Annette's grandchildren were the light of her life. She always loved spending time with them and sharing stories about them with friends and loved ones. She resided many years with her husband, Joseph, on Colvin Avenue in North Buffalo, which was well known throughout western New York as the "The Christmas House." Her passions included cooking and planting a grand display of flowers in front of her Colvin home. She was known to be an extraordinary cook and baker, always providing gourmet food and several types of homemade cookies for anyone who walked into her home. Saying "no" was never an option when offered these delectables. Annette was an active volunteer with the Variety Kids Telethon. After retiring from the Buffalo Water Authority, she spent time with friends and family including her grandchildren. Friends and relatives may visit the Lombardo Funeral Home, North Town Chapel, at 885 Niagara Falls Boulevard near Sheridan Drive on Friday, October 18th from 4PM to 8 PM. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Saint Margaret's R.C. Church, 1395 Hertel Avenue, Buffalo, on Saturday morning at 10:30 AM followed by church internment, Forest Lawn Cemetery.
