Beatrice A Mondone

August 19, 1940 - December 25, 2021

Beatrice A Mondone, 81 of Rossville passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 25, 2021, surrounded by her loving family. Born Monday, August 19, 1940, in Brooklyn, New York, she was the daughter of the late Nicholas Baffi and the late Mildred Iossa Baffi and the sister of the late Irene Baffi. Beatrice and Robert were married on September 23, 1961, and lived most of their life in Eltingville together. Where they raised their four children and formed lifelong friendships. Beatrice was a parishioner at Holy Child Church for many years and was very involved. She was especially proud volunteering her time with the pre-school, teaching religious instructions for over 25 years and helping with adoration. Once her children were older, she reentered the work force. She decided to retire to enjoy the time with her husband and grandchildren. Beatrice enjoyed traveling the world with her husband and closest friends on many cruises. She played Mah Jong weekly with her girlfriends for over 45 years. Beatrice appreciated her quite time playing solitaire and Bingo on her iPad, watching the news in the early mornings, and the Price is Right. She kept her mind sharp watching the Game Show Network. Beatrice predeceased her loving husband Robert of 59 years. She is survived by her four loving children Elizabeth Donegan, Judi (Danny), Robert (Jennifer) and Paul (Jennifer) Mondone. She cherished her eight grandchildren James, Samantha, and Nicole Donegan, Mychal, Matthew, Gabrielle, Nicholas, and Natalie Mondone. They were her pride and joy; her caring aide Marcy who was considered not only a friend but part of the family. Beatrice will forever be missed by those who knew and loved her. Due to the current pandemic circumstances, there will be a pending memorial mass of Christian Burial to be named at a further date. In lieu of flowers the family kindly asks that donations in Beatrice's name be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (www.stjude.org/donate) or MS National Multiple Sclerosis Society (www.nationalmssociety.org/donate)
