Priscilla Zumpano Obituary

Priscilla (Swinegar) Zumpano 1955 - 2018
UTICA - Mrs. Priscilla A. Zumpano, 63, passed away, surrounded by the love of her family, on Wednesday, November 14, 2018, at the Masonic Care Community.
She was born in Utica, on March 1, 1955, the daughter of Josephine Swinegar. She was educated in local schools and a graduate of TR Proctor High School. Priscilla worked at the Masonic Home for over 31 years in many different facets of the facility and cherished many longtime working relationships.
A very loving person, Priscilla cared about everyone, especially her family. She enjoyed her scratch off tickets, cooking and watching Hallmark movies. She loved the holidays and will be sadly missed by her four sons, Matthew Zumpano, Vincent Zumpano and Emily Scofield, David Zumpano and Marc Zumpano, all of Utica; one grandson, Ethan Zumpano; one brother and sister-in-law, Art and Anne Swinegar; one nephew, Alan Swinegar; and many friends and co-workers too numerous to mention.
Her funeral will be held on Saturday at 9 a.m. from The Matt Funeral Home and at 10 a.m. at Historic Old St. John's Church. Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery. Relatives and friends may call on Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. at The Matt Funeral Home, 700 Rutger St., corner of Mohawk St., Utica.
The family would like to offer their sincere thanks to everyone at the Masonic Home, especially the Saratoga Unit, for the loving care and compassion shown to Priscilla during her stay there.

Our sincere condolences to each of Priscilla's family members on the passing of your mother. It was a honor to minister to her and her son, Marc, at the hospital before her passing. She is now home with the Lord, and healed, and no longer a part of your past, but a part of your future. Blessings to you all in Christ Jesus' Name.
