Gentile, Louise A.

Louise A. Gentile (Masciangelo) was born October 8, 1930. She left this world in peace with family by her side late on 1-14-22. Louise was predeceased by her loving husband Gerald of 58 years, and leaves two sons, Peter (Debra) and Anthony, Six Grandchildren, Alyssa & Erica, Jake, Justin & Morgan Gentile. Louise joins in heaven, her grandson Nicholas Gentile.

Louise graduated from Fairport High School in 1948, then worked at Allstate Insurance where she met the love of her life when he came in to make an insurance payment.  After the birth of her sons Peter in 1963 and Anthony in 1965, she remained a stay at home mom managing a busy household full of numerous activities and sports schedules. Louise was a tremendous cook and would have a freshly cooked meal available each and every day, regardless of what was going on. Louise returned to the work force once again with the Fairport School District and assisted in food preparation and monitoring at a number of schools in the district where she enjoyed time with the children.

 Louise traveled with Jerry many places and owned a winter home in Florida that was sold upon the arrival of her grandchildren, because she couldn’t stand being away from them. Louise sacrificed her self-interests for those of her boys and grandchildren and would always accommodate others needs before her own. When the grandkids were out and about they knew they could count on Nana for a special treat or to make them one of her famous sandwiches. We will forever be grateful for the love, prayers and support received from Louise throughout Nicholas’ life. When Anthony’s Triplets were born she took a shift at the NICU unit to make sure the kids were never left alone for extended periods of time upon their birth. She loved attending the baseball, softball, football, cheerleading, concerts and dance recitals of all the grandkids. She loved flowers and gardening and was always a useful resource in finding out flowers names and the care thereof.

Louise was an amazingly strong, positive woman who was devoted to our Lord and had a deep religious faith which she celebrated at the Church of The Assumption. Family was the center of her life and she was the center of our Family. Her faith in the Lord Fueled her strength and selfless courage throughout the final days of her life. 

The Gentile family would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for the compassionate care offered at Elderwood Village At Fairport especially Amy, Athena, Bonnie, Antonia, Gale, Diane, Sherri, and Lisa. We appreciate you all going above and beyond the call of duty in keeping mother comfortable.

A public prayer service will take place on Friday, January 21^st at 9:30AM at White Haven Cemetery in Pittsford (All Seasons Chapel).

 In lieu of flowers memorial donations can be made to the American Cancer Society 1100 Goodman St. South, Rochester NY 14620.
