Christine Macaione-Bilodeau Obituary

Macaione, Christine (Smith)
ALBANY - Christine "Criss" (Smith) Macaione-Bilodeau, loving wife, mother, Nana and aunt, passed away on July 30, 2025. She leaves behind her husband, Shawn; her daughter, Lara; her son-in-law, Steven "Jake" Jacobson; her grandsons, Max and Ben; and numerous nieces, nephews, and their families. She was predeceased by her parents, Landis and Florence Smith; as well as her sisters, Toni (Robert) Kodweis and Caroline (Jack) Roeger. A well-known figure in local art, collecting, and theater communities, Criss loved nothing quite so much as teaching with art, theater, mahjong, and pinochle among her many subjects. She will be much missed and long remembered.
In lieu of flowers, it would thrill Criss' spirit if her life served to inspire you to donate to your local art, theater, and children's education organizations. A celebration of her life will be scheduled at a later time.

Criss' lightheartedness is what I remember. She was "adorable". Liked painting with her at CAL and SAS. God Bless
