Theresa Cardinal
April 8, 1931 — October 27, 2022
NISKAYUNA - Theresa "Terry" Cardinal was born in Schenectady to Donato and Maria Lombardi on April 8, 1931.
She passed away on October 27, 2022, after a short battle with a rare infectious disease. Except for the last part thanking the Ellis Hospital team, this obituary represents Terry's own words, family was not allowed to embellish!
Terry was a graduate of Nott Terrace High School and Albany Business College. She worked at General Electric for six years. Shortly after her marriage to Allen Cardinal, she relocated to Syracuse, New York. They raised four children there.
Terry worked for many years as Outreach Minister at St. Joseph's the Worker Church in Liverpool, New York. Terry enjoyed relocating to the Capital District ten years ago, residing with her son Paul and his wife Cindy in Niskayuna.
Terry is predeceased by her husband, Allen, her beloved parents, and her siblings, Amelia Lombardi, Anthony "Uncle Tony" Lombardi and Helen Iantosca. Terry is survived by her children, Paul (Cynthia), Robert, Anne Marie (Jess - predeceased) and Mary (Roger). Also surviving her are grandchildren Stephen (Jordan), Ymiliana, Lauren (Alex), Jesus "Che", and Diego; and her great grandchildren, Sofia, Selena, Aiden and Sutton.
Puleeezzzz - no flowers. You will be so blessed by donating to City Mission, PO 760, Schenectady, New York 12301, or to Family Promise, 738 New Scotland Ave., Albany, New York 12208.
The family cannot express enough gratitude to the health care team at Ellis Hospital for their expertise and their compassion, particularly Terry's cardiologist, Dr. Dibble, the emergency room's Dr. Young, the ICU's Dr. Vytrisal, and infectious disease specialist Dr. Liebers.
Calling hours will be Tuesday, November 1, 2022, from 4 PM to 7 PM, at New Comer Cremations & Funerals, 343 New Karner Road, Colonie, New York, and the Mass of Christian Burial will be Wednesday, November 2, 2022 at 10 AM, at St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish, 1803 Union Street, Niskayuna, New York.
