With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Mary Grace Rinaldi of natural causes on September 24, 2020. She was devoted wife, mother, and a friend to all whose lives she touched. She left us at 77 years of age.
Born in Hastings, New York on September 10, 1943, she was the daughter of Theodore and Mary Jandrucko.
After Mary attended business school, she met her loving husband Alexander in 1961. They married two years later on July 27, 1963, and then went on to have their dear son Alex.
Mary lived a full life as a devoted Catholic, wonderful mother, dedicated homemaker, and she loved when her family gathered all together. She loved to cook, garden, and visit with her friends. She had a vivacious personality and always made people around her smile.
She was also a transportation worker for Clarkstown Central School district for 32 years before retiring in 2010.
Mary is survived by her husband Al of 57 years, her son Alex, and her dear cousin and wife Carmen and Nancy Annicchiarico.
She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
