Obituary of Mary Anne Teta

Mary Anne Patrick Teta, 85, of Cohoes and formerly of Lansingburgh, peacefully entered into eternal life surrounded by her loving family on Monday, May 5, 2025 at St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany.

Born in Troy, NY, she was the daughter of the late Walter T. and Anna Mae Burniche Patrick, Sr. and was a graduate of St. Augustine’s Academy in Lansingburgh and Catholic Central High School “CCHS”.

Mary Anne was predeceased in 2010 by her beloved husband Anthony E. “Chick” Teta, just days shy of their 50^th anniversary.

Mrs. Teta retired in 2016 from Sodexo at RPI in Troy, where she had been employed for 22 years. She loved her work and her co-workers over those years.

Mary Anne was an avid golfer, loved gardening, was an amazing cook and baker, loved to crochet and make assorted items for her grandchildren, enjoyed doing word puzzles, made sure to capture videos on the Beta-Max video camera, but above all else she took immense pride in her family and her home.

Those who knew Mary Anne, knew her to be a fashionista, dressed to the 9’s from head to toe with impeccable make-up. Her favorite hobby was shopping and in particular searching out a bargain. Outings at her home on Plank Rd. which everyone knew to be the gathering place were the norm; whether it was for a family picnic, a theme or holiday party or just a party in general always included their family, extended family as well as her and Chick’s circle of couple friends and their families. She especially treasured the times that she spent with her grandchildren and great grandchildren and was a communicant of St. Augustine’s Church in Lansingburgh.
