Datri, Frances R.

— Frances Datri, 96, passed away peacefully on November 25, 2020, while on an extended visit with family in Roswell, Ga.

She was born on June 9, 1924, to the late Andrew Defelice and Caroline Andenno Defelice. Frances was predeceased by her husband, James F. Datri, in 2010 after 62 years of marriage.

Frances was the mother of Mary Bibby of Caroga Lake, Frances Datri of Scotia, Christina Haskell (Reggie) of Feura Bush, James Datri (Sheri) of Roswell, Ga. and Brian Datri of Schenectady. She was the grandmother of Luke and Adam Hallenbeck, Angela, Brianna (Peyton Palaio) and Samuel Datri. She had four greatgrandchildren, Autumn Datri, Jaden Clemons Hallenbeck, Joseph Gerace and Carmella Palaio.

Frances lived her entire life in selfless service to her family. She modeled a life of sacrifice always giving from her loving and generous heart. Her faith in God was strong and she spent much time in prayer for family and friends.

She loved living in her "Mansion on Main Street" for 72 years where she not only nurtured her family but gave loving care for her many plants and flowers that she received as treasured gifts throughout the years. Frances was an avid reader and loved going to the library, diner and local thrift shops.

Frances left a lasting impression on all who knew her. She was always blessed when someone would stop in for a visit, call or send a card. Frances leaves us with lasting memories of beautiful stories, of her many kindnesses and unending grace.

An interment service will be held in Saratoga National Cemetery at the convenience of the family.

Frances and her family appreciate all the monthly visits, weekly prayer phone calls and cards from those that attend St. Patrick’s Church. Each one of you made her feel incredibly special.

Contributions, in memory of Frances, may be sent to St. Patrick’s Church, 21 Main St., Ravena, NY 12143.
