February 20, 1956 - January 5, 2021

Barbara Maria Silvestri, 64, of Northville, New York passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, January 5th 2021. Barbara was born February 20, 1956 to parents Hannah and Gildo Scotto in New York, NY. She graduated from Sewanhaka High School in 1974 and received her degree from Fulton Montgomery Community College. While at FMCC she met her Husband Keith and they were married in 1983. Barbara is survived by her husband Keith Silvestri, son Ryan Silvestri, his wife Lisa and three grandchildren Gwendolyn, Lorelei and Weston. She was predeceased by her son Corey Silvestri whom she now joins in Heaven. Barbara was an amazing wife, mother and grandmother, a devout catholic who loved a good rosary chain or March for life and had extraordinary faith through many tough times. She was passionate about helping people and was a trusted counselor to many. Whether helping students as a soil and water teacher at FMCC, helping farmers with her work at NYS Ag & Markets or helping youth as a CCD teacher, she always had room in her heart for others and will be dearly missed. Barbara filled every room she stepped into with energy, love and kindness. Please join us in a celebration of her life as we say our final goodbyes.
