ALBANY — Marion Toomey Jaquinto, 89, passed away peacefully on June 18, 2020, at St. Peter’s Nursing & Rehabilitation Center.

A lifelong Albany resident, Marion was born on July 1, 1930, to the late William A. and Marion Rose Toomey, Sr. She was predeceased by her husband, Frank L. Jaquinto; her daughter, Kathleen Gilligan; and her brother, Kenneth Toomey.

A dedicated mother and sister, Marion enjoyed spending time with family and friends, including holiday gatherings, family barbeques, and summer vacations at Brant Lake. She loved playing games and was always up for a game of cards or a board game, doing crossword puzzles, or, keeping up with technology, an online game of solitaire or mah jong. Marion was an avid reader and enjoyed drawing, painting and ceramics.

Marion was a communicant of the Parish of Mater Christi (former St. Teresa of Avila) in Albany, a longtime member of Albany Columbiettes Council #173 and was active with the Telephone Pioneers of America. She retired from New York Telephone Company to then enjoy a life of leisure traveling, living winters in Florida and enjoying time with her grandchildren.

Marion is survived by her children, Michael (Elizabeth) Jaquinto and Maureen (Richard) Pasquini; brother, William A. (Joanne) Toomey Jr.; sister, Ann (Raymond) Dwyer, San Antonio, Texas; sister-in-law, Carol Toomey; son-in-law James Gilligan; grandchildren, Matthew and Jason Gilligan, Alyssa and Thomas Jaquinto, and Samantha and Timothy Pasquini; and several nieces and nephews.
