Margaret Mary "GiGi" (Moyer) Trivieri, RN

UTICA - Margaret Mary “GiGi” (Moyer) Trivieri, RN, was just shy of her 91st birthday when she peacefully passed away and went home to the Lord on Wednesday, January 24, 2024. Margaret was born in White Plains, NY on February 5, 1933, a daughter of the late Ralph and Beatrice (Senecal) Moyer. Margaret grew up in Northern Vermont and spent her summers with her maternal grandparents, Wilford and Hirma, in Canada. In her teen years, she and her family relocated to Cazenovia where she graduated high school and went on to Le Moyne College followed by St. Joseph College of Nursing where she attained her Registered Nursing credentials. Margaret was a compassionate and knowledgeable nurse, working with many local hospitals, nursing homes, hospice care, and holding private duty positions. Private duty was most pleasurable for her, and she was respected by the families for her confidentiality and traditional style of nursing. Margaret was truly a classy woman, with her sky-blue eyes, impeccable complexion, and always her red lipstick. Margaret possessed great integrity, had a sense of humor, and a memorable laugh. Margaret ran her household with a matriarchal structure that gave everyone a sense of being home. She was meticulous, creative, and coordinated her decorative home with style. Margaret looked forward to her phone calls and visits with her children and grandchildren and would keep everyone up to date. Margaret’s greatest joy was being a mother, followed by becoming a grandmother. Margaret gave everything she had to offer to her family, loving unconditionally and praying her rosary daily for each of them until her last day. Margaret enjoyed reading mystery, history, and religious books. She loved to watch the New York Yankees and followed them throughout the season, in addition to watching EWTN. Blessed with intelligence and wisdom, Margaret kept abreast of current events and remained sympathetic to the tragedies of this world. Margaret loved the outdoors, especially the Adirondacks, where everlasting memories were created for her, her children, and grandchildren. Margaret enjoyed traveling and would visit family in Michigan and North Carolina, take bus trips, in addition to vacationing in Hawaii, Alaska, and Florida. One of her proudest and most memorable experiences was her trip to Rome, Italy to see Pope John Paul II and her two religious journeys to Medjugorje. These pilgrimages were made because of her strong connection to her faith and the Blessed Mother. Margaret was a devout Catholic and drew strength from her faith and its teachings. She was actively involved in the church as a Eucharistic Minister, participant in Perpetual Adoration, and consistently supported international missionary work. Margaret was also a strong advocate and supporter of Birth Right; she counseled expectant and new mothers to empower themselves to be the best nurturers they could be. Her heart was open to anyone in need, and she supported so many with such passion. Margaret is survived by her children and their spouses, Larry Trivieri, Jr., Daryl Trivieri; she held close to her heart the memory of her daughter, Andrea Herman, who preceded her; Michelle Trivieri, Karen and Daniel Buono, Laura Jean Trivieri, Michael Trivieri, Cynthia Riggles, Brian Trivieri, Gina Ashmore, Dianne McCartney, and Elizabeth and Fabio Faro. She will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren and their partners, Gabriel, Bryan and Robyn, Alyssa and Paul, Sonya and Paul, Skylar, Krystle whom she held close to her heart and preceded her, Brandan, Collin and Lena, Joseph and Noemi, Michael and Sharline, Eric, Maria, Marisa and Kyle, Joshua and Mallory, and Breana. She will live on in the hearts of her great-grandchildren, Mason, and Declan, Caetano, Thamare, and Nalani, Ceci, and Ellie, Kloe, Silas, Carter, and Caden “Didi,” Esther, and Natalia, Rosabella, Ellie, and the anticipation of baby Emma, and Luna. Margaret will be deeply missed by her siblings, Raymond Moyer and his wife Beverly, Martha Moyer and her husband Michael, and Linda Crucs and her husband Bob. She was preceded by her brothers, “the Moyer Boys,” Ronald, Roderick, Roger, Ralph “Sonny,” Robert, and Richard. Margaret had numerous, wonderful friends who preceded her, and she spoke of them fondly. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Margaret’s direct healthcare providers, especially Kiniesha, Melissa, Kelly, and Nancy, for their compassionate care and attention to Margaret. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend Margaret’s Mass of Christian Burial and Celebration of Life which will commence on Monday, February 5, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at Mary, Mother of Our Savior Parish, Lourdes Campus, 2222 Genesee St. There will be an opportunity to greet the family at the conclusion of mass. For those unable to attend, the Mass will be livestreamed at https://www.youtube.com/@JoeSalernoOLOL. In lieu of floral offerings, and because being kind and helping others was Margaret’s mission, memorial contributions in Margaret’s honor may be made to the Thea Bowman House online at www.theabowmanhouse.org/donate; envelopes will also be available at the service. Entombment will take place in Calvary Mausoleum at the convenience of the family.
