Son, Daughter In Oneonta Survive Her

ONEONTA — Arline Attanasso, 89, of Oneonta, who is survived by a son and daughter in Oneonta, passed away on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2019, at Fox Nursing Home.

She was born on June 22, 1930, in Brooklyn, the daughter of the late Sidney A. and Victoreen (Maher) Walter.

In 1982, following Joseph’s retirement, Arline and Joe moved to the area from Long Island.

She enjoyed sewing, knitting, cooking and baking, especially her famous “mistake” sugar cookies. But what was most important to Arline was her family and making a home for her family, most importantly, followed by her faith and friends.

She was also predeceased by an infant sister, Mary Walter; and her sister-in-law, Bobbi DeMalo.
