Frances P. Curatolo, 91, passed away peacefully on October 20, 2025, in Endicott, New York, the town where she was born and spent her life. Born on July 27, 1934, in Endicott, Frances was a lifelong resident of the community she cherished. She was the daughter of Calorgeo and Paola Curatolo and grew up surrounded by a large and loving family.

Frances was known for her warm heart and generous spirit. She found joy in simple pleasures-especially cooking, baking and crocheting-and shared her talents freely with those around her. Her kitchen was often filled with the comforting aromas of home-cooked meals, lovingly prepared for family gatherings and special occasions. Her hands were rarely still, always busy creating beautiful crocheted pieces that became treasured keepsakes for many. Family meant everything to Frances. She delighted in spending time with her many nieces and nephews, offering them not only delicious food but also unwavering love and support throughout their lives. Her presence brought comfort and joy to countless family moments over the years.
She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Calorgeo and Paola Curatolo; her sisters Agatha Burks, Leona Davidson, and Anna Popelka; and her brothers Mitch Curatolo and Joseph Curatolo.

Frances is survived by numerous nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. Who will carry forward her memory with affection and gratitude. She is also remembered fondly by her brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

May her memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her. A Memorial Service will be held on November 1, 2025, at 10:00 AM at Northminster Presbyterian Church 711 Farm to Market Rd. Endwell. Burial will follow on November 1, 2025, at 11:30 AM at Vestal Hills Memorial Park 3997 Vestal Rd. Vestal, NY.
