Jill worked for many years as a programmer at IBM in East Fishkill and retired as an account clerk from Beacon City School District.
A lifelong parishioner at St. Charles Borromeo in Gardiner, she loved attending Broadway shows, participating in her book club and practicing yoga at the Mount.

Jody Satriani (1952-2023)
Jody Louise Satriani, 70, died July 9 at her home of pancreatic cancer.
She was born July 21, 1952, at Butterfield Hospital in Cold Spring, the daughter of Philip and Rose (Shaw) Jackson. She attended Glenham School and Beacon High School and graduated from SUNY Morrisville and York College as a pediatric occupational therapist.
Growing up in “the big house in the Junction,” Jody was surrounded by a multi-generational extended family. In addition to grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, Jody’s parents opened their home to many others in their time of need.
Jody’s love of art, music, and theater was rooted in her family’s appreciation for artistic expression. As a child, she saw that art was life (and vice versa), her family said. Her mother was a prolific painter, her father loved art and music, and her uncle Ronnie was a virtuoso at the piano.
Jody began performing at a young age in school productions, at Boscobel in Garrison and the Cecilwood Theater. Jody was an ongoing improvisational actor with Hudson River Playback Theater and involved as a board member and performer in productions with the Performing Arts of Woodstock and The Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck.
A memorial will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Aug. 20 at the Tidewater Center, 61 E. Bridge St., in Saugerties. Jody’s extensive collections of pottery, china, and crystal will be given as a memory to all who loved her. Her clothing was given to neighbors and friends and distributed to local homeless shelters. Her housewares and furniture were given to the Ulster Immigrant Defense Network. At the end of the service memorial, we will gather for a group photo to share with future generations a portrait of the love she gave to us all, her family said.

On July 15, 2000, he married Lee Ann Hinkley at St. John the Evangelist Church in Beacon.
Along with his wife and father, Mark is survived by his children, Melissa Trifilo, Marc Trifilo and Nakita Trifilo; and his siblings, Eugene Trifilo and Staci Trifilo.
