Please share a memory of Caryl to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Clinton – Caryl A. Galinski, 66, of Norton Avenue, passed away Thursday, June 25, 2015 with her family at her side after a courageous battle with Leukemia. She was born January 30, 1949, in Utica, a daughter of the late Louis and Evelyn Werthman Krom. Caryl graduated from Sauquoit Valley Central School in the Class of 1967. On October 19, 1974, she was united in marriage to Robert D. Galinski, a blessed union of love and friendship for over 40 years. Caryl began her service with the Town of Kirkland as the Deputy Town Clerk in 1990 and became the Town Clerk in 2012. She was a member of St. Mary's Church and its Hearts and Hands group. Caryl was a strong woman who faced leukemia head on and was able to have 12 more years with her family and friends thanks to her bone marrow donor, Carol Rogers of Wales. They became good friends and traveled together with their families when Carol came to the US. She stayed busy with work and family, shopping, tending to her flowers and traveling. Every Sunday was spent having dinner with her family at home. Family came first and she truly enjoyed times spent with them. She is survived by her husband, Robert; her four children, Heather Galinski and Pete DeCarlo of Clinton, Missy and Matt Mancine of Sodus, Megan and James Morris of Waterville and Robert Galinski and Erin Maxam of Oneida; her seven beloved grandchildren, Brianna, Emily and Jordan Mancine, Zoe DeCarlo and Hannah and Olivia Morris; her sister Betty Hanley of Clinton; many nieces and nephews, including Mark, Bonnie, Andrew and Alayna Krom; and many special brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. She was predeceased by her precious grandson, Jacob Mancine. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Monday, June 29, 2015 at 10am at St. Mary's Church in Clinton with burial to follow in St. Mary's Cemetery. All are invited to call Sunday from 2-5pm at Owens-Pavlot & Rogers Funeral Service, Inc., 35 College St., Clinton.
