Alberta Barone

Alberta Barone died peacefully December 28, 2008. She was born October 25, 1920, in Kiantone, NY.

She received an Associates Degree from Bryant & Stratton College in Buffalo and won the New York State Bookkeeping Award.

She married Charles Barone in 1946 and they spent the next 57 years in Frewsburg, NY, raising six children and running Barone’s Market. Bert was famous for her baked beans and apple pies.

In 2003 she and Chuck moved to Fallbrook to be close to family and enjoy winters without snow. After Chuck’s death in 2004, Alberta moved to the Regency and made many dear friends. She loved watching the Padres, playing cards and being with family.

During her last year she was lovingly cared for at Bella’s Sunny Hill Guest Home. Many thanks also to her “favorite doctor,” Dr. Reynolds, and the wonderful Fallbrook Hospital and Home Health staff who helped take care of her.

Alberta will be greatly missed by her family: Father Mike Barone, Madisonville, TX; Jim and Maureen Barone, Centerville, OH; Barbara and Dennis Recker, Fallbrook; Sally Simpson, Lititz, PA; Jan and Al Horvath, San Antonio, TX; Tom and Celeste Barone, Charlotte, NC; nine grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
