COLONIE -

Our beloved matriarch, Marcia P. Manginelli, born in Albany, daughter of Edward R. Mangelsdorf Sr. and Marion K. (Fish), passed away peacefully.

She was resilient to her core—strong in ways that mattered—and faced life with humor, wit, and just the right amount of sarcasm.

She had a gift for conversation and loved being around people: talking, laughing, and truly connecting. Music was her heartbeat, and dancing was her joy. Heyyy

“Horizons that I’ve never seen. Oh, I’d like to take just a moment and dream my dream.”

She is survived by her daughter, Deborah A. Bailey; her son, John A. Bailey III (Luciene); and her grandchildren, Danielle Gaudio, Richard Jack III, and Nicholas Bailey. She was predeceased by her brother, Fr. Edward R. Mangelsdorf Jr.

She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
