Obituary of Clara M. Maneen

Mrs. Clara M. Maneen, age 91, a longtime Frankfort resident, passed away peacefully early Wednesday morning, February 1, 2023, with her loving family by her side. Born on December 3, 1931, Clara was the daughter of the late Ernesto and Mary (Ciani) Guerrieri. She was raised and educated in Fort Plain, NY. On November 3, 1957, Clara was married to Mr. Baldassario “Baldy” Maneen and together they shared in a blessed union spanning forty-six years until Baldy’s passing on December 26, 2003. Throughout the years, Clara worked hard to maintain her home and care for her husband and children. In her later years she worked in the domestic department at Fay’s Drugs in Ilion, a place where she was able to socialize and make many friends. Clara was someone who was always devoted to the well being of her family and nothing gave her greater joy than gathering her children and grandchildren together for holidays and meals. She was the consummate Italian mother who showed her love through her cooking and food. She could often be found on the phone or going for walks to keep up with the latest goings-on in the lives of her family and her friends. Her presence will forever be missed by those she leaves behind. Survivors include her daughters and sons-in-law, Brenda and David Jung of Colonie, NY and Jackie and Stan Miller of Port Charlotte, Florida. Forever in her heart was the memory of her son, David Maneen, who passed away on August 17, 2017. She also leaves her grandchildren, Michael Jung of Colonie, Lisa Jung of Colonie, Samantha Miller and her fiancé, Luke Mancini, of Charlotte, NC, Malorie Pelletier and her husband, Michael, of Concord, NC and Kyle Miller of Scotia; her two beloved great-grandchildren, Lincoln and Giavanna; her in-laws, Thomas and Liz Maneen and Peggy Maneen, all of Frankfort; along with many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and friends. She was predeceased by her husband, son and numerous in-laws on the Maneen side of the family. A special thank you is extended to her friends and private caregivers, as well as the staffs of Hospice and the Abraham House for the loving care and compassion shown to Clara throughout her final days. For those wishing to do so, please consider memorial contributions to Hospice and Palliative Care, Inc. 4277 Middle Settlement Road, New Hartford, NY 13413 OR to the Abraham House, 1203 Kemble Street, Utica, NY 13501.

Francis Vivacqua. Spring interment will take place in Mt. Olivet Cemetery where Clara will be laid to rest with her beloved, Baldassario.
