Obituary for Frances G. Tracey
Watervliet – Frances G. (DeCrescenzo) Mazzariello Tracey, 89, passed away peacefully on Thursday April 15, 2021 at The Van Rensselaer Manor. Born in Watervliet, she is the daughter of the late Frank and Enrichetta (Migliore) DeCrescenzo. Frances was the wife of the late John Mazzariello and the late Joseph Tracey.
Frances was a lifelong Watervliet resident and attended the Watervliet Schools. She worked for J. Debeers in Albany as a baseball stitcher for more than 29 years until her retirement in 1986.

Frances was a member of the Parent-Teacher Association at St. Anthony’s School in Troy where her sons attended and she was also a parishioner of the former Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Watervliet. Family was the most important thing in this world to Frances, nothing made her happier than being surrounded by her family and serving her famous spaghetti and meatball dinners.
