Eva Pianelli passed away peacefully December 22, 2020, with her family at the bedside. The middle daughter of Bernard and Ilah Rayder, she grew up on a farm in Stony Creek, New York. While attending nursing school in Gloversville, she fell in love with Vincenzo “Jim” Pianelli and embarked on a 65 year marriage of mutual adoration. They raised their family on Third Avenue in Gloversville during a time of great promise and opportunity.
Eva was universally loved and respected. She was one of the kindest and good-natured people one would ever encounter. Never a harsh word toward others, she maintained the highest standards in everything she set out to do. A gifted homemaker, she enjoyed reading, cooking and spending quiet time with family and Mountainview Avenue neighbors and friends.
