Christina R. "Tina" (Sacco) Endryck

Mrs. Christina R. “Tina” (Sacco) Endryck, age 65, of N. Utica, passed away on Friday, March 5, 2010 at the St. Elizabeth Medical Center with the love and support of her family by her side. Born in Troy, NY on August 12, 1944, Christina was the daughter of the late Chris and Martha (Arquilla) Sacco. Raised and educated in Watervliet, she was a graduate of Watervliet High School. On June 22, 1974 she married John P. “Jack” Endryck with whom she shared 35 years; they were a couple who complimented and completed one another in many ways. Tina began her career as a secretary with the New York State Department of Labor where she excelled in performing her duties and responsibilities and was adored by her co-workers. She retired in April of 2001. She loved her family and friends unconditionally and offered her help when needed, never expecting anything in return. One of her greatest joys was derived from the relationship she shared with her grandchildren who filled a special place in her heart. Tina also loved, understood, and protected animals, and many dogs enjoyed a loving home with her. She fondly remembered her current dog, Oscar, and those who had gone before her, Jamie and Keysha, as well as her “granddogs”, Runch; and Rush who has passed. She loved her yard, and her flowering plants, and inspired by her imagination, she designed displays of grandeur and delight. She was a meticulous woman with a great sense of fashion and decoration who often rearranged her furnishings causing comical confusion for her family. Tina is survived by her husband, Jack; her son, Brady J. Endryck; and her two grandchildren, Isabella Victoria, and Joseph Jack, who “Mima” adored. Survivors also include her nieces and nephews, Erick Deratzian and fiancée, Danielle Barrieau of CA, Jessica Deratzian Chavira and her husband Carlos, of Boston, MA; her cousins, aunts and uncles, especially Laura Slivienski of Waterford, NY; and her brother-in-law, Thomas Deratzian of Clifton Park. She was also blessed with many friendships, especially acknowledging her beloved friends, Ed and Sherry Goldberg of Chadwicks, and Jen Picente and her late husband, John. She was predeceased by her sister, Rosemary Deratzian. The family is grateful to Dr. Alicia DeTraglia, Dr. Mathew Ulahannan, the nurses, technicians, entire staff of 3B, and the Emergency Room at the St. Elizabeth Medical Center for their outstanding care and compassion. A memorial gathering of Tina’s family and friends will be held Monday afternoon from 4:00-7:00 at the Eannace Funeral Home, Inc., 932 South St., corner of Hammond Ave. By family request, please omit floral offerings. For those wishing to do so, please consider memorial donations in Tina’s honor to the Stevens Swan Humane Society, 5664 Horatio St., Utica, NY 13502; envelopes will be available at the funeral home. Tina’s funeral service and Celebration of Life will commence on Tuesday morning at 11:00 at St. Mark’s Church, 440 Keyes Road, N. Utica.
