Obituary of Sharon M. DeCasperis (McGloine)

Sharon Mary (McGloine) DeCasperis, 75, passed away peacefully on June 19, 2019. Born on May 18, 1944, Sharon was the beloved daughter of the late George and Constance McGloine and the devoted wife of her husband of 51 years, Frederick J. DeCasperis. Sharon’s greatest joys were her cherished daughters MaryBeth (John) Rajczewski of Longmeadow, MA and Angela (Andrew) Amendola of Miami Beach, FL and her precious grandchildren Abigail, Colin, Celia and Elise Rajczewski and Blanca and Joaquin Amendola. Sharon is also survived by her brother James McGloine and sisters-in-law Florence McGloine and Patricia Geehr, as well as many loving nieces, nephews and dear friends. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her sister Joan Catricala, brother George McGloine and niece Vicky Duclos.

Sharon was a graduate of St. Joseph’s High School in Albany and worked as a secretary for the State of New York and later as a teacher’s aide at Shenendehowa schools. She enjoyed cooking, particularly her special sauce and meatballs, homemade apple pies and muffins for her grandchildren. She loved to dance and watch her brothers, Jimmy and George, in their bands. She also enjoyed planting flowers each spring, but mostly loved to spend time with her husband, daughters and grandchildren. A born caregiver, Sharon spent her life taking care of others. Known as the angel of the family, Sharon will always be remembered as a kind and generous person by all who knew her. She was loved by many and will be dearly missed.
