Obituary for Ethelyn J. Sapino
Ethelyn J. Sapino, Manlius, NY.
With gratitude, love, joy and sadness, Ethelyn Sapino aka “Lynn,” 80, peacefully departed Into eternal life on December 9, 2021 after a long illness.
She was born August 27, 1941 in Troy, NY, the daughter of William H. Farnham and Ethel Davis Farnham. Ethelyn was a graduate of Shaker High School, class of 1958.
She married Chester Sapino of Troy, NY. Mrs. Sapino was an avid gardener and gourmet chef. She loved cooking, family gatherings, swimming, homemaking, entertaining, traveling and most of all being a grandmother.
She was very active in Cub Scouts and teaching Sunday School to little children in our local church. She was a Christian with exceptional faith always praying for those she heard were suffering. She loved singing and entertaining family and friends. Ethelyn will be remembered as a very loving, hospitable and caring woman. Surely goodness and mercy followed her all the days of her life and she is dwelling in the house of the Lord forever. Her secret to a long, happy marriage of more than six decades was an agreement with her husband, to never let the sun go down on their anger.
Besides her husband, Chet, she is survived by her son Chester Sapino III and daughter-in-law Lisa Sapino of New Port Richey, Florida, and daughter Lisa Sapino Cuomo and son-in-law Robert F. Cuomo of Manlius, New York, three grandchildren, Robert E. Cuomo and fiancée Lindsey Spirk of Allentown, Julie S. Cuomo of Baldwinsville, New York and Christian R.
