Sheila Guinto Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jun. 30 to Jul. 1, 2021.
Sheila Margaret (Ryan) Guinto June 29, 2021 Sheila Margaret (Ryan) Guinto, 79, of Syracuse, passed away at Crouse Hospital on Tuesday. Born in Long Island and raised mainly in Truxton, Sheila worked as a nurse at Cortland Hospital and later Community Hospital in Syracuse. After raising two sons she worked for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse and spent many years at Holy Cross Church in DeWitt, where she was also a communicant. She was predeceased by her mother, Martha Ryan and her father, John T. Ryan as well as her brother, Johnny Ryan and sisters, Martha Ryan and Kay Christian. Shelia is survived by two sons, Peter Guinto of Syracuse and Joseph (Rachel) Guinto of Washington, DC; as well as her sister, Anne (Dick) Cutia of Etna; step-sister, Nancy Rocco of Avon, Connecticut; sister-in-law, Marilyn Ryan of Cortland; many nieces and nephews. Sheila was of Irish descent but learned to cook Italian food after marrying into a Sicilian family. So she raised her two sons mostly on mostaccioli and meatballs. She also made legendary lasagna. She enjoyed exchanging quips with family and friends and recounting old yarns. But at large gatherings she often had to leave soon after meals because of an unfortunate and undiagnosed "allergy" to dish soap. Her smile and laugh will be missed. A funeral mass to celebrate Sheila's life will be held on Saturday, July 3rd, 11 a.m. at Holy Cross Church, Dewitt, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated. Friends and family may call on Saturday prior to the mass from 10 to11 a.m. at the church, 4112 E. Genesee St., Syracuse. Burial will follow in St. Mary's Cemetery, Cortland. Farone & Son, Inc Funeral Home is in care of arrangements. Share condolences at www.faroneandsoninc.com.

I just learned of Sheila's passing myself. What a warm and fun person she was. My Mom, her cousin, always looked forward to seeing her and their Truxton cousins. My condolences to her family and extended families. God is peacefully resting her with her heavenly family. Bless them all.

Just learned of Sheila´s passing. Sheila was my second cousin and we both graduated from Truxton Central in 1959. Last saw Sheila several years ago at a class reunion in Cortland. My heart felt condolences to her friends and family. Her cousin Pat...

I will echo Betty's comments. Our moms created a great growing up place for us on Huntley St. I remember those annual garage sales and delivering your newspaper for years. Sheila rests with the angels.

Pete and Joe,
The entire Wojcikowski family is saddened to hear of your mom´s passing. What a wonderful neighbor, and fun, kind woman. She was always smiling and so happy to see us when we would run into her in later years. Her obituary is a beautiful tribute to her. Our prayers are with all of you. God Bless!

Dear Family and Friends of Sheila: How very saddened I was to learn of her passing!! She was my sister Toni´s roommate in college and died one day after the anniversary of Toni´s death. I´m sure they´re laughing a lot in heaven. They adored each other!!
