SCHENECTADY - Toni Marie DiLorenzo, 60, passed away on Wednesday July 30, 2025 at Albany Medical Center. She was born on February 13, 1965 to Shelia Moore Simmons and the late Gaetano Andriano. A graduate of Shalmont High School, she was then employed at Filene’s Department Store in Rotterdam. Her next chapter in life was working at Draper Middle School in administration. Toni enjoyed all seasons of the year especially autumn for the lovely colors and the spring when flowers would bloom. Her life long friend Danielle Ryan helped her through every phase of life from joyous times to serious illnesses and we thank you for everything. Toni’s partner Robert DiNardo was Toni’s inspiration for life. His care and love is unmeasurable and made Toni’s life happier and for this we are forever grateful. In addition to her father, she was predeceased by her grandsons, Joshua and Daniel.
Toni is survived by her children, Jessica DiLorenzo (Jacob Gocheski) and Nicola DiLorenzo (Rozena); her partner, Robert DiNardo; her mother, Shelia Simmons; her grandchildren, Xavier, Henry, Lily, and Elijah; her siblings, Christopher Andriano (Jaqueline) and Nicole Mastropietro (Matt); her god mother, Bernice Andriano; and several cousins, nieces and nephews.
