Mary Antoinette Spettel

She was born on November 22,1932 to Joseph and Antoinette Giglio in Oneonta, NY. She was a graduate of Oneonta High School and went on to work at the Credit Bureau of Oneonta for close to 50 years. In 1957 she married the love of her life, Louis Spettel and went on to have 2 children residing in Oneonta. They were married for 56 years until his death in 2013.

Mary loved Christmas, hosting many a Christmas Eve party over the years, making sure to have a gift for every person that came through her door. She was a very giving and generous soul. She also took great pleasure in frequenting area casinos when the chance presented itself. Her favorite pastime though, when she was alone, was reading. She loved to surround herself with all of her books, even making her husband designate an entire room in their home to them. She was a loving mother and grandmother. She was also a wonderful daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She loved her family most of all. She will be greatly missed.

She was predeceased by her husband Louis, her parents and all of her four brothers and sisters.

She is survived by her children Louis Stephen Spettel and his wife Kelly of Mount Vision NY, Margaret Barker and her husband Bill also of Mount Vision; her grandchildren Corey Spettel (Ticheme Harris), Ian Spettel, Cassidy and Derrick Anderson, and Christopher Barker; two great-grandchildren Madaline and Derrick Anderson, as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
