Troy - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing, December 5, 2022, of our beautiful and loving wife, mother and grandmother, Dolores A. Mancino Kokernak, 86, at Van Rensselaer Manor after a long illness.  She was sweet and kind and her heart was filled with love. 

Born in Troy, she was daughter of the late Joseph A. Mancino and Marion Bulmer Mancino and wife for 66 years of Thaddeus Kokernak. She was a lifelong resident of the Stowe Hill area of Troy and was a 1955 graduate of Troy High School.
