Philomena was always bringing a smile to everyone’s face. Phil also enjoyed riding the city bus with friends, simply just to talk about the memories they all share throughout the city.

Philomena will always be remembered for her spunk, humor and "zest for life" by those who had the privilege of knowing and loving her. In her memory, we ask only that all of us practice in our daily lives an act of kindness every day and say thank you.

A graveside service will take place in the spring at Prospect Hill Cemetery, Gloversville.

Arrangements are entrusted to Walrath & Stewart Funeral Home, Gloversville.
