Mrs. Carrie M. Brindisi-Greene

Mrs. Carrie M. Brindisi-Greene, 65, passed away on Tuesday, August 18th, 2015 at the Siegenthaler Center in New Hartford after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Utica on April 11, 1950, Carrie was the daughter of Flora M. (Barber) and the late Salvatore F. Brindisi. Graduating from T.R. Proctor High, she continued her education at SUNY Morrisville and the SUNY Institute of Technology, earning a Bachelor’s Degree cum laude in Computer Science. In September of 1990 she married Brian Greene, with whom she shared a happy, loving union until his untimely passing in 1996. Carrie’s working career began as a computer operator at the former Upstate Computer Services in Marcy. She then accepted a programming position at Agway, eventually transferring to their Syracuse office in the late 70’s. In 1993, Carrie took an administrative position with the Children’s Cancer Unit at University Hospital in Syracuse. Her office was filled with pictures of the young patients she comforted over the years. She was a shoulder to cry on for many families who were going through a difficult time. Carrie was later promoted to Manager of Insurance Authorization and Medical Records – a position she held until her retirement in May of this year. Carrie’s home was her sanctuary. From decorating to home improvement projects to cooking, she brought a style all her own. Her family and friends came to know these many talents at the various parties she hosted. Venturing out for birthday dinners with her close friends also brought her much enjoyment. Carrie was a very self-reliant, independent person of strong character balanced with generosity and compassion. Carrie is survived by her mother, Flora M. Brindisi of Utica; her brothers and sisters-in-law, Angelo and Robin Brindisi of Chadwicks, Charles and Carol Anne Brindisi of Springboro, OH, and Daniel and Sheila Brindisi of Whitesboro; her nieces and nephews; Sandra (Craig) Johnville, Lisa Brindisi (Chris Jones), Kim Rueb (Rob Comenale), Megan (Bernard) Hyman, Melissa (Christopher) Banas, Danielle Brindisi, Jessica Markle, Stephen Markle, Alec Brindisi, and Kaley Brindisi. Also surviving is her stepson, Brian Scott Greene as well as many cousins. She was predeceased by her nephew, Michael Brindisi, and a special aunt, Josephine Barber Kane. The family appreciates the support and love provided by all of Carrie’s friends throughout the years. Words cannot express how grateful we are. A memorial service will be held on Friday, August 21st, at 7:00 p.m. at the Eannace Funeral Home, Inc. 932 South St. Calling hours are from 4:00-7:00 p.m. prior to the service.
