    * Mary A. Nardiello
    ALBANY - Mary A. Nardiello, 96, entered Eternal Life Wednesday, November 29, 2023. Born in Albany, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Grace Apetitto Ciarfello. Mary was a senior account clerk and longtime employee of the New York State Department of Health. She is also a former representative for Avon. She was a former member of both the Italian American Community Center in Albany, and the West Albany Italian Benevolent Society Woman's Auxiliary. Mary enjoyed Mahjong, crocheting, knitting, casinos, golf, and spending the winter months in Florida.

    Mary was a devout Roman Catholic and longtime communicant of Blessed Sacrament Church, Albany, N.Y. where she volunteered whenever needed, and belonged to their Rosary Guild and Over 50 Club. In many ways, her church was as important in her life as her beloved family. Her children will always remember her nurturing spirit, and involvement in their many activities. And they are so grateful to their mother for her example and love.

    Mary was the dear wife of the late Anthony C. Nardiello, who passed away in 2006; beloved mother of Rosemarie Reed (Paul), Dr. Charles A. Nardiello (Gayle), and Patricia Mangini; cherished grandmother of Christina Caron (Mark), Nadine Baker (Steve), Jessica Ovitt (Frank), Michael Mangini (Robyn), Charles Nardiello (Amy), Bryan Reed (Amanda), Andrew Mangini (Michelle), Alisa Weiss (Dave), Melissa Atayee (Abdul), and Katy Burn; she had several deceased siblings, and survived by 17 great-grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

    The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the aids who have cared so tenderly for Mary during this last chapter of her life.

    Relatives and friends are invited to visit with Mary's family Sunday, December 3, 2023, 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at McVeigh Funeral Home, 208 North Allen Street, Albany, N.Y. 12206. Please enter the funeral home from the rear parking lot entrance only.

    Funeral services Monday, December 4, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. at Blessed Sacrament Church, 607 Central Ave. (Father John Bradley Way) Albany, N.Y. 12206, where her Funeral Mass will be celebrated. The Rite of Committal will be held at Memory Gardens Cemetery immediately following the Mass.

    Mary's family respectfully requests that those who were intending to send traditional flowers, instead select poinsettia flowers; otherwise memorial contributions can be sent to Blessed Sacrament Church, 607 Central Ave., Albany, N.Y. 12206.

    Closing Song:           Amazing Grace              -John Newton

    Amazing Grace! how sweet the sound,
    that saved a wretch; like me!
    I once was lost, but now am found,
    was blind, but now I see.


    'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
    and grace my fears relieved;
    How precious did that grace appear
    the hour I first believed!


    The Lord hath promised good to me,
    His word my hope secures;
    He will my shield and portion be
    as long as life endures.


    When we've been there ten thousand years,
    bright shining as the sun,
    We've no less days to sing God's praise
    then when we first begun
