Helen Martinetti Obituary
Helen T. Martinetti, of the White Plains area, passed away at home on November 3rd, at the age of 77 after a long illness. Helen was born in White Plains to the late John and Helen Bertrand. Over the years she held positions as a switchboard/PBX operator for AT&T Long Distance, General Foods and Crown Plaza, but her true joy was time spent laughing, having fun, and making memories with her family and friends. She was married to her loving husband Thomas for over 53 years. In addition to Tom, Helen leaves behind her children Wendy Hofbauer, Todd (Christine Bartol), and Helyna Carosi (Alan Petrella), grandchildren Timothy and Rebecca Martinetti and Brett Hofbauer, and two great grandchildren Jamie and Nicholas Jackson whom she adored. Her siblings also survive her: Mary Tocidlowski (Stanley), Grace Deich (the late Donald), John Bertrand, Jr. (Janet), Richard Bertrand (the late Ruth Ann), Joan Arrigo (Thomas), Barbara Trier (Donald), Joseph Bertrand (Cathy), Charles Bertrand (Liz); as well as many other cherished family members and friends. Helen was pre-deceased by her son-in-law and 'buddy', Jeffrey Carosi. Reposing, Hawthorne Funeral Home on Monday 3-7 PM. Interment private. In lieu of flowers, a donation to "Make a Wish Foundation" in her memory would be appreciated.
