She is also survived by several nieces and nephews. In addition to her beloved husband and son, Barbara was predeceased by her sister Marilyn Palamenti. Barbara truly felt blessed for all the wonderful friendships that she made over the 30 years she was employed at JC Penney in Clifton Park and also as a parishioner of St. Edward the Confessor Church in Clifton Park. Her family would also like to thank the staff at Atria Crossgates, for all they have done for mom these past 2 ½ years, especially these past few weeks. Funeral service will be held at the convenience of the family due to the limitations of Covid-19. A memorial mass will be held in the future at St. Edward the Confessor Church.
