Catherine Marie Tambone, 93, an area resident since 1991 and formerly of Eastchester, NY, passed away on January 24, 2022, after a brief illness.

Born on January 1, 1929 in Villa San Giovanni, in the province of Reggio Calabria, Italy, she was the daughter of Leonardo and Natalina (Calabro) Scaramuzzino. Catherine had been employed as a personal banker for Bank of New York and retired in 1991. She was a parishioner of St. Denis Church and a member of Beekman Seniors.

On October 10, 1948 at Assumption Church in Tuckahoe, NY, Catherine married the love of her life, Vincent George Tambone. They started their life together in Tuckahoe then moved to Eastchester, NY where they planted their roots and built a beautiful life together and had four children and a home bursting with love. After retiring, they relocated to Dutchess County to be close to their children.

Catherine was a skilled seamstress and would crochet in her spare time as a hobby. She enjoyed spending summer days at the Echo Bay Yacht Club in New Rochelle, NY.

Catherine's priority was always her family. Catherine and Vincent were recognized in February,2021, by the Archdiocese of New York as one of the longest married couples within the Archdiocese.
