Geraldine “Gerry” M. (Biamonte) Natale, 87, of New Hartford, NY, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 26, 2026.

Born on August 4, 1939, in Utica, NY, Gerry was the daughter of Frank and Anne (Malek) Biamonte. She attended Utica Catholic Academy and went on to study nursing, beginning her career at Faxton Hospital. When she and Charlie started their family, Gerry devoted herself to raising their children and creating the warm, loving home that would become the center of so many family gatherings and special childhood memories for her children.

Gerry met the love of her life, Charles “Charlie” Natale, when she was just 19 years old. They married on October 1, 1960, and recently celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary. Together, they built a life rich in love, laughter, family, and the countless memories that come from sharing more than six decades side by side.

Gerry was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. Proud of her Italian and Polish heritage, she was known for her wonderful cooking and the joy she found in bringing family and friends together. Her kitchen was a place where recipes, stories, laughter, and perhaps a little family gossip were always generously shared.

She treasured time spent with her children and grandchildren, family celebrations, and delighted in the company of her many dear friends. Whether gathered around the dinner table, enjoying the Florida sunshine, or simply spending time with those she loved, Gerry found happiness in life's everyday moments.

Gerry leaves behind a lifetime of cherished memories, treasured family traditions, and a legacy of love that will live on through the generations. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Gerry is survived by her beloved husband, Charles “Charlie” Natale; her three children, Chuck (Cheri) Natale, Laurie (Michael) Flanagan, and Jill (Brian) Martin; and her cherished grandchildren, Vincent Natale, Brittany (Zac) Burke, Starr (Harrison) Touchman, Kevin Flanagan, Sean Flanagan and his fiancée, Caitlin Powers, Brian (Sophia) Flanagan, Abigail Martin, and Aiden Martin.

She is also survived by her beloved great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Gerry was predeceased by her parents, Frank and Anne Biamonte; her dear sister and brother-in-law, Roseanne and Bill Orlando; and her niece, Melissa Orlando Miller.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Mary of Mount Carmel / Blessed Sacrament Parish, 648 Jay Street, Utica, NY 13501.
