JEANNIE CARDINALE"
Gloria Jean Rell Cardinale, of Tampa, Florida, formerly of Palenville, New York passed away at age 73 on January 9, 2022 at her home in the arms of her loving husband, Frank.
She was known as "Jeannie" to her schoolmates, family and friends.
Jeannie was born July 17, 1948 in Catskill, New York, the daughter of the late
Margaret Rell and John Hodor.
She lived in Palenville, New York until 1969 when she moved to Tampa.
Jeannie was predeceased by her beloved son, Frank Jr., who was the absolute light of her life and was taken away much too soon in August, 2021 by the COVID virus.
She is survived by husband Frank to whom she was married for 53 years, grandson Rocco, sister Joan Lanuto of Catskill, New York, brother John Rell of Saugerties, New York (since deceased), and many dearly beloved and loving nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her mother and father, sisters Marjorie "Midge" Hill, Barbara Rappolt, Judy Cosseboom, Claudette Skelton and brothers Charles Rell, Richard Rell, and Barry Rell.

oyed in various positions including legal clerk, bank teller and manager of a retail furniture store.
Jeannie loved children and animals, especially puppies and giraffes. But her real passion and the center of her life was her home and family: She was fun-loving and exuberant with a warm, caring nature and very devoted to those she loved in life: husband, son, grandson, parents, sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews and friends.
She was the center and anchor of her family and her affection, devotion and tireless spirit made her house a true home for her loved ones.
Jeannie was a beautiful lady with a catching smile, beautiful sparkling eyes and best of all a beautiful heart.
Those of us who were fortunate to have Jeannie close to us in life remain forever touched by her countenance, spirit, devotion, inner beauty, and warm heart.
She will live on in our hearts for all time.
After memorial services in Tampa, Florida and Catskill, New York, Jeannie was interred in the family plot in the Town of Catskill Cemetery, Catskill, New York.
