It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Marie Cosentino of Pelham Manor, NY, on December 24, 2024, at the age of 85.
Marie was one of three daughters of Florence and Salvatore Santoro. She was raised in Bronx, NY before moving to Pelham Manor, where she built a beautiful life with her husband, William Cosentino, of 51 years.
Marie loved her life in Pelham and worked for years at the Pelham Art Center, enjoying its rich programs and her many interactions with the community. Always meticulous in her dress and her home, she prided herself on her ability to set a beautiful table, paying attention to every detail to create warm and memorable gatherings. In her later years she spent many a day with her son’s Goldendoodle, Riley, who became her loyal companion.
Marie will be remembered for her warmth, kindness, creativity, and the love she shared with her family, friends, and community. She will be deeply missed by her family and all who knew her.
Marie is survived by her devoted son, Gregory; her cherished grandson, Lucas; her beloved sister, Patricia (Peter) Mustich, as well as her many nieces, nephews and extended family.
Marie was predeceased by her parents, Florence and Salvatore, her loving husband, William, and her sister, Yvonne Miro.
