Geraldine Montello Obituary

Montello, Geraldine
TROY - Geraldine A. Montello, 79, of Troy, passed into Eternal Rest, on May 18, 2024, at Samaritan Hospital, in Troy, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Troy, Geraldine was the daughter of the late Jerry and Mary Teta Pitanillo and the wife of the late Joseph Montello. She was a kind and good-hearted person. She loved to laugh and make others laugh. Geraldine was one of the best cooks using all of the old recipes. She was always the life of the party. She will be dearly missed by her son, Jerry Montello, of Troy; her brother, Jerry Pitanillo, and his wife, Cate; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. Geraldine was the sister of the late Kate Keuntzel and sister-in-law to the late Kenneth Kuentzel. She also leaves behind her precious cat, Lily.
A memorial mass for Geraldine will be celebrated at a later date.
