LAGRANGEVILLE – Nelda Marcone, 92, passed away on July 2, 2023 at the Briarcliff Manor Center for Rehabilitation after a brief illness.

Born in Italy on May 30, 1931 (June 1, 1931), she was the daughter of the late Sabato and Antonietta (Lombardi) Simone. She immigrated to the United States when she was just 18 years old and lived in the Bronx until a year and a half ago. She worked as a seamstress for many years in the Bronx.

Nelda was a faithful Catholic who was especially devoted to Mother Mary. She enjoyed reading the newspaper and watching CBS. She liked spending time in her garden and taking long walks.

In addition to her parents, Nelda was predeceased by her loving husband of 28 years, Luigi Marcone, in 1981; her son, Michael Marcone in 2020; her grandson, Christopher Fagan in 2001; and her sisters, Teresina Ramundo and Angelina Mastracchio and their spouses Gennaro and Nino.
