Michele Tennariello, formerly of Sag Harbor, died on April 4 in Naples, Florida.
Born in Queens in 1964, she grew up in Howard Beach, graduating from John Adams High School in 1982. Survivors said she had an infectious laugh and a smile that would light up any room. She loved nature, cooking, thrift shops, animals, and sitting on the beach in Sag Harbor.
Ms. Tennariello had two sons, both graduates of Pierson High School whom survivors said she cherished—Michael, who is in the U.S. Air Force, and Anthony, who lives with his father, Steven Borgese, in Hampton Bays. She also is survived by her daughter-in-law, Samantha; her mother, Maria Tennariello; her brothers, Randy and Joe; and extended family and friends.
A Mass will be held on Saturday, April 26, at 1 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Catholic Church in Sag Harbor.
