SCHENECTADY -Surrounded by her loving family, Elsie Perillo. 94 of Schenectady, passed away peacefully at the Teresian House on Saturday, March 16th.

Elsie was a kind, and loving person who reached out to all who knew her with generosity and love. Her most cherished times were family gatherings spent with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was an outstanding cook and homemaker and no one ever left her house hungry. Everyone who knew Elsie knew that aside from her family, her passion was playing Bingo and poker and betting on the horses. She loved her outings to the Saratoga Racino with Pat Jarvis and the rest of the Teresian House gang. When she won, everyone won! .
Relatives and friends are invited to call at the Rossi& Ditoro Funeral Home, 501 Union St., Schenectady on Tuesday evening, March 26th from 4:00-7:00PM.
