ALBANY –
Phyllis L. Cristo-Pomeroy joined the angels and saints when she left us on Wednesday evening August 21, 2024.
Phyllis was born in Albany, NY and was the eldest of six children born to the late Vera (Iarossi) Cristo and Guillermo Cristo.
She spent her formative years in Monterrey, Mexico where her father owned and published a magazine. Phyllis graduated from Albany College of Pharmacy and later received a Master of Arts degree in Spanish Education from SUNY ALBANY. She taught at Empire State College and also in the Ichabod Crane School System.
Before returning to the Albany, NY area in recent years, Phyllis lived with her late husband, Gordon Pomeroy, in Rock Hill, South Carolina where she was the owner of Tortilleria-Linda Lupita, a tortilla-making business.
Survivors include: her daughter Theresa (Alex) and son Tom (Lyn); her beloved grandchildren: Vincent, Paloma, Margot and Edward; her siblings: Bill, Nick, Geraldine, Peter and Rick; nieces and nephews; and countless cherished friends.
