My condolences and prayers to Mary’s family. Mary was a wonderful next door neighbor and when my husband and I moved to the neighborhood 6 yrs ago, she promptly came over and introduced herself and welcomed us with open arms! She was a sweet and warm person and we shared many of laughs together! We always looked out for each other if we were going to be away from home a few days. I am going to miss her tremendously and my heart is heavy but I know she is smiling down on us. Rest In Peace Mary. From Carl & Vanessa Elijah
My deepest condolences to the whole Fantacone family. Aunt Mary was one of the kindest woman I have ever met. She was a bright light to all those that knew her. Every time I saw her I was always greeted with a smile. I will miss all of our conversations we would have at family functions. I have fond memories of years past when I would take my Meem over to visit her. She was always a gracious host and welcomed us with open arms. She will be sorely missed.
We extend our deepest sympathies as we are thinking and praying for you all.

Mike & Family,

Bob and Family: I am very sorry to see the loss of your Mom, Mother in Law and Grandma. As I watched the tribute video it was so wonderful to see all the love and pride she had for her family. My prayers are with you during this difficult time
To Mary's Family:
What a wonderful person Mary was. I was the Herald-Journal paperboy for her and Tom in the mid-1950's. Together they were a wonderful models of devoted spouses and parents. They complemented each other well. Tom was quiet and Mary was the extrovert. Mary knew I loved Italian food and invited me to the family spaghetti dinner. I never forgot that.
After I returned to Syracuse after being away 35 years, I cruised through the old neighborhood and saw Mary and Tom in the yard. I stopped and visited with both, had a lot of laughs about the 'old days.' Several times more I visited, including after Tom had passed away.
I can honestly and proudly say that the Fantacones were one of my favorites.
God Bless both Mary and Tom. May they eternally rest in peace. They are together again at the Home God had ready for them.
Sincerely,
Jim Dooher
Our thoughts and prayers to Mary's entire family. We are honored that she was part of our extended family, and great-grandmother to our granddaughters, for the past 10 years. Mary & Barry Geiger
The name Mary Fantacone immediately takes me back to being a young teenager on Shotwell Park. There are so many memories of Mary and Tom and my mom and dad (Frank and Carol Lazipone). May be family rejoice in her long life and the happy memories I'm sure she left everyone. Keep her alive by talking about her and the memories she left you all...It's why God gives us memories...It's always very hard to lose people you love - but I'm sure she's at peace and now she's back with her husband - and hopefully my parents as well!
