Obituary for Anne Marie Talarico (Bentro)
Anne Marie (Bentro) Talarico, 1950-2020
New Hartford, NY- Mrs. Anne Marie (Bentro) Talarico, age 70, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, October 1, 2020, at her home.
She was born in Utica, NY, on January 18, 1950, a daughter of the late Anthony N. “Tony” and Doris R. (Bork) Bentro. Anne Marie was raised and educated in Utica, graduating from T.R. Proctor High School in 1967; she continued her education at Utica College, where she was awarded a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. On September 10, 1982, in Verona, NY, she married Norman J. Talarico; the couple shared in a union blessed with over thirty-eight years of marriage. Mrs. Talarico retired in 1997, as a supervisor for the Teamsters, Local 182, in Utica, after thirty years of loyal service.
Some of Anne Marie’s favorite times were spent gaming at the casinos in Montreal and Kingston. One of her greatest joys in life was becoming a “Nonnie”. Her time spent doting on her daughter and granddaughters, is what she lived for. Anne Marie will always be remembered for her compassion, kindness, and generosity. Her heart was truly one of a kind.
Surviving are her husband, Norman; a daughter and son-in-law, Francesca and Elvis Sabanagic, of Utica; three adored grandchildren, Adriana “Bean”, Melania “Sissy”, and Alessandra “Jadie” Sabanagic, all of Utica; and a sister, Deborah Bentro Girmonde, of New York Mills.
