Florence Mary (Cammuso) DeGregorio

SARATOGA SPRINGS – Florence Mary (Cammuso) DeGregorio, 90, of West Circular St., passed away Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2016 at Saratoga Hospital, after a short illness. Born on June 26, 1926 in Mechanicville, a daughter of the late Bartholomew and Leta (Calicchia) Cammuso, she married Andrew DeGregorio in June of 1946 and moved to Saratoga Springs and was a resident of the city most of her life. Involved in the community, she actively participated for many years at the Dominick Smaldone Post 35 Italian American Club and was a member of the ITAM Ladies Auxiliary, having served as the Junior Vice. She never said no to any committees and even at 90, she would bake her goodies for all their bake sales and fundraisers. Flo was a homemaker for most of her life and many remember her from the days of DeGregory’s Restaurant many years ago. She was a faithful communicant of the historic Church of St. Peter. She treated every person she met with kindness and respect and her heart knew no boundaries. Flo touched the lives of many and she remained passionate in everything she did. Her greatest passion was her family. She so loved her children and grandchildren and would cook large meals so we would all come together to share them. Famous for her cakes and pastries as well, we will all miss her pasta and meatballs. Flo loved to dance and tried to get all her kids and grandkids to dance with her. We will all live with her in our hearts forever. Survivors include her children; Andrew DeGregorio Jr. (Theresa), Leta Betor (John), Frank DeGregorio, Patrick DeGregorio (Laurie); her grandchildren Ronnie Betor (Brad), Jillian Casler (Greg) and Colin Betor; two brothers, Anthony Cammuso and Frank Dambrosio and a sister, Phyllis Caschera. In addition to her parents, she is predeceased by her husband, Andrew DeGregorio, Sr., and her special granddaughter, Madison DeGregorio.
