Cathleen Pastore Obituary

Cathleen L. Pastore, age 69, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, November 8, 2021. She was born on July 7, 1952, in Troy, NY to parents Earl and Bernadette (Flannigan) Wilmot. After graduation from High School, Cathleen went on to attend Kent State University where she majored in Art. She retired from Ellis Hospital after a long and rewarding career. Cathleen was known for her style and class. She was always dressed to the nines and loved to shop for all her stunning outfits, especially at Macy's. To relax, Cathy spent time outdoors birdwatching or going for long drives and trying to get lost. She enjoyed spending time at the cabin in the Adirondacks where she boated with her husband and dogs. Above all, Cathy loved her family and especially spending time with her four grandsons. Cathleen is survived by her husband of 46 years, Richard Pastore; children, Arin (Gabe) Zollinger; grandchildren, Michael Pastore, Kyle Pastore-Sherman, Jackson Pastore-Barker and Marco Zollinger and sisters, Connie Emery and Carol Taylor. Along with her parents, Cathleen is predeceased by her daughter the late Rikke Pastore, and her grandson, Triston Pastore-Barker. All are welcome to attend a small Graveside Service on Wednesday, November 10, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. in Sweetman Cemetery, Charlton, NY. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Cathleen's name to the Saratoga County Animal Shelter , 6010 County Farm Road, Ballston Spa, NY 12020.

Although it has been a very long time, I remember the good times of our youth at Mac and Carol's home in Castleton-on-Hudson. I can still hear Cathie's joyful laughter. In my memory, her indomitable spirit is what I remember most, and her photo captures my memory beautifully. Vince and I are so sorry for your loss.

I am one of Cathy´s first cousin. My mother was her father´s sister. Although I haven´t seen Cathy in several years, I am very sad to hear of her passing. My prayers are with her husband and family.

So sad for your loss. Cathy was a good friend and I loved working with her at Ellis. She always had a smile on her face and a friendly greeting whenever I saw her. She will be sorely missed by all.
