Mary DiPalma

December 13, 2020

Mary DiPalma, a Bronx native who relocated to Yorktown Heights in her golden years, passed away on December 13, 2020. Born on September 28, 1931, to the late Donato and Louise (Trotta) Martinelli, she is predeceased by her beloved husband of 56 years, Anthony. Her career as a homemaker (in which she was famous for her eggplant parmesan and lasagna) was bracketed by positions in the banking industry, most notably with Chase Manhattan. She is survived by her two daughters, Laura (Joseph) Schwartz, and Toni Ann (Robert) Froner, three grandchildren, Christopher and Elizabeth Froner and Keighley Young, and her sister Gena (the late John) Foley, as well as many loving nieces and nephews and their children and grandchildren. Mary cherished her family and friends and enjoyed visits with them, displaying a multitude of photographs in her home. She especially loved children and always made them feel special. She was a fan of fashion and film her entire life. Visitation is from 9-11 am on Friday, December 18 at Yorktown Funeral Home, 945 E Main St, Shrub Oak, followed by an 11:30 am Catholic mass at St Patrick’s Church, 137 Moseman Rd, Yorktown Heights. Interment will follow at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Hawthorne. Instead of flowers, donations may be made to the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement of Graymoor in Garrison, NY.
