ALBANY- Matilda M. Duncan, age 94, passed away on December 15, 2023 at Eddy Village Green in Cohoes.
She was born in Albany and was a lifelong resident. She was the daughter of the late Cosimo and Alice Tarzia. She was predeceased by her husband of 63 years, James, her daughter Maureen, and her siblings Terry (Ambrose), Anne (Aldo) and Dominick.
Matilda graduated from the Academy of the Holy Names and from Albany Business College. After graduating she went to work for the New York State Thruway Authority as an Administrative Assistant until 1961.
