Mary L. “Nard” (Cappuccilli) Paratore is in the loving hands of our Lord. She passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 17, 2018 at Syracuse Home. She was born on Tipperary Hill to Antoinette and Leopold Cappuccilli, graduated from Central High School and worked for several years as head bookkeeper at Chappell’s Department Store. While raising her three daughters, Mary and her husband started Peter A. Paratore Construction Corp. She enjoyed many years of golf at Tuscorara Country Club as well as bowling and tennis. An avid sports fan, she enjoyed watching all sports and attended Syracuse University football games for many years. Family, however, was her most treasured accomplishment.

Then along came grandchildren and it began again, but now also included attending and cheering at baseball, football and basketball games.
