Conesus Lake:  At age 89, Mary Lee passed peacefully surrounded by her children Wednesday, November 22, 2023, she was predeceased by her husband of 56 years Cliffie, her daughter Chris Scardilla, and her son Timothy Cisco.  Survived by children;  Cindy (Chuck) DiPasquale of Mt.

Mary Lee’s biggest joy in life were her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She especially enjoyed watching her children and grandchildren play sports. She thought the world of all the people that she worked with for over 28 years at the Livingston County Sherriff’s Department, which she considered her second family. One of her many and proudest accomplishments working for the Sheriff’s Department was being the first female in New York State to be elected to lead a Deputy Sheriff’s association that acts as a labor union.

In her retirement she enjoyed her time at the lake by making needle point keepsakes for family and friends, as well as hosting all the holidays with family and friends, especially the Ring of Fire and Christmas with her over the top Christmas Décor. Everyone considered her mom and she was mom to all.

  1. We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mary Lee. She had a heart of gold and welcomed our family into her home as if we were her own. She was generous, kind, and compassionate, and we will miss her dearly. She touched many lives and we will remember her and the stories she would share about her life forever. Rest in peace, our beloved Grandma Cisco.

  2. Please accept my condolences on the passing of Mary Lee. My dad, (Dick Kane) loved his “cookies and coffee time in the kitchen” with Mary Lee! He also loved the fact that she was honest and forthright with him when he asked her for an opinion. She was a wonderful and generous soul, a friend to all. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
