WHITE, MARY G.
Mary Grace White, 93, formerly of Saratoga Springs, passed away peacefully at home on Kinderhook Lake, after battling COPD and congestive heart failure on Friday, July 30, 2021.
Mary was born on July 20, 1928 in Schodack Landing to the late Vincenzo and Annunziata DeFiglio.
Mary was married for over 43 years to the late Clarence who passed away in 1991.
In addition to her parents and her husband, Mary was predeceased by her brothers, John, Pasquale, Paul. Anthony, Joseph, Michael and Celeste and her sisters Julia and Philomena.
Mary is survived by her children, Terrance (Janice) White of Saratoga Springs, Michael (Susan) White of Biddeford Maine, Corrine White of Niverville, Kevin (Diane) White of Layton Utah, Tammara (Michael) Catalano of Waterford, Katy Rodriguez (Will Nivins) of Niverville, and Paul Rodriguez (Carolyn Star) of Phoenicia. Mary is also survived by her two brothers Vincent (Anne) and Peter Defiglio both of Schodack, her beloved grandchildren, Lisa (Jeffrey) Palmer of Wilton, Matthew (Katie) White of Boston, Valeri White of Las Vegas, Jesse (Anna Fuge) Rodriguez of Syracuse, Jacob Catalano of Waterford and her partner in crime Briar Nivins. Three great grandsons were also the apple of Mary's eye; Chase and Cooper Palmer and Dominic White. Mary is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Mary was a devoted wife and mother. Nothing was more important than family.
She enjoyed traveling, shopping and spending time with family and friends. Mary also enjoyed working with the elderly first at the former Resurrection Rest Home in Castleton and then as a private home aide.
Mary will be missed dearly but the family asks that she be celebrated for the amazing life she lived, rather than mourned.
