CLIFTON PARK Mary E. (Proctor) Erno, 97, passed away peacefully Friday, May 9, 2025 at Albany Medical Center.
Born in New York City, she was the daughter of the late John and Delphine Macy Proctor and wife of the late Raymond J. Erno, Sr.
She was the last of 10 children, being predeceased by all of her siblings, Evalee, Leonard, John, George, William, Robert, Frederick, Howard and Doris.
Mary was a communicant of St. Mary's Church in Crescent. She enjoyed camping in Elizabethtown and was an avid bowler in her younger years. However, if there was one thing that defined her life it was devotion to family. They were her whole world and she always made the holidays special by putting on a big spread. She especially looked forward to Christmas Eve and the annual 4th of July family reunion where she would be surrounded by all of her family and friends.
Mary is survived by her loving children, Raymond "Jim" Erno, Jr. of Clifton Park, Robert J. Erno (Sue) of Clifton Park and Lori Panetta (Ken) of Altamont; by her beloved grandchildren, Angela Fortin (Todd), Christine Marie Muscato, Robert Erno (Kara), Kelley Jarboe, Kenneth Panetta, Jr. (Dana) and Kristie Panetta (Tyler). She is also survived by several great grandchildren as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. in the Fitzgerald Funeral Home, 105 Vliet Blvd., Cohoes. Interment will follow in St. Mary's Cemetery, Waterford.
Relatives and friends may visit at the funeral home from 11:30 am-1:30 p.m. prior to the service.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a contribution in Mary's memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (www.stjude.org)
