Mary Baldoni beloved mother and grandma
Eldred -- Mary P. Baldoni, 100, formerly of Elm Street, died Sunday (April 22nd, 2018) following a brief illness.
Born February 22, 1918 in Garbutt, NY, she was the daughter of Joseph and Santa Lattuca. On June 15, 1940 she married Patsy Baldoni, who predeceased her in 1995.
