Obituary

Mary E. (Geraci) Fiorentino, 84, of Lancaster, PA, joined her heavenly father in the afternoon of Thursday, January 12, 2017. Mary was the loving wife of the late George F. Fiorentino, Sr., who passed away in 2015. She was the beloved mother to Cynthia A. (Fiorentino) Henry, wife of Michael E. Henry, of Lancaster and George F. Fiorentino, Jr., husband of Lori D. (Brubaker) Fiorentino, of Holtwood. Born in Lancaster, Mary was the daughter of Catherine (Spadea) Geraci and Domenic Geraci. Mary was a loving mother and family-first person. Mary worked part time for years and spent many of those years working in the cafeteria at Armstrong World Industries until she retired. Mary sincerely enjoyed cooking and baking. She was well known for her many Italian dishes, cookies, cakes, pies. Nicknamed Mary the Baker, there were always baked goods at Mary's house. She was happiest spending time with family. Cooking the traditional Family Sunday dinner for her children and her grandchildren was one of the highlights of her life. She simply loved having the family home. She was always lending a helping hand to her children and loved spending time with her granddaughters. In her illness, her eyes would still light up at the site of her great-grandson and great-granddaughter. Mary was an active member of St. Philip the Apostle Roman Catholic Church where she sang in their funeral choir and was a member of the Guys and Dolls Club. She loved to sing and performed with Standing Room Only (SRO), a performance-singing group for retired teachers, for many years. Along with her two children, Mary is survived by her granddaughters Sarah E. Henry of Lancaster; Megan L. (Henry) Toth, wife of Gregory J. Toth, of Houston, TX; Christy R. Fiorentino and Angela S. Fiorentino, both of Holtwood; and her great grandson Simon M. Toth and great granddaughter Eleanor D. Toth. She is also survived by her sisters Rose Myers, Catherine Corpman, Theresa Caulwell, wife of Ronald Caulwell, and Margaret Weit, wife of Nevin Weit, all of Lancaster. In addition to her parents and husband, Mary was preceded in death by her sister, Marie A. Rittenhouse and brother, Francis "Frank" J. Geraci. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11AM on Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church, 2111 Millersville Pike, Lancaster, PA 17603. Viewings will be held at the Charles F.
