Edith "Edie" Centorino passed away peacefully, with her family by her side, on Friday March 1, 2019.

She was predeceased by her husband of 54 years, Anthony Centorino Jr.

Edie was born on November 20, 1937 in Shawnee, OK and grew up in San Antonio, TX. She and her husband Tony started their life together in Braintree, MA where they raised their three children. Edie worked as a Dry Cleaner for over 20 years. She enjoyed gardening at her Braintree home.

Edie and Tony moved to Fort Myers Florida in 2003, where they enjoyed their retirement. After her husband passed away, she enjoyed living at the Palms in Fort Myers, where she felt safe and cared for.

Edie is survived by her children, Catherine A. (Centorino) Randell of Brockton, MA, Anthony J. (Sandra) Centorino III of Cheshire, CT and Christine (Paul) Grigorenko of Cape Coral, FL. She is also survived by six grandchildren, John Randell, Sbhannon (Hinchliffe) Noceda, Paul Grigorenko Jr., Jennifer Grigorenko, Stephanie Centorino, and Alison Centorino. She is also survived by three great grandchildren.

Those of us that were blessed to know Edie were often caught by surprise by her quick wit. Her sense of humor was genetic and has been passed on to her children and grandchildren. She related to her children and grandchildren via Sponge Bob cartoons and Archie Comic Books. The world was a better place with Edie and we will miss her dearly.

Funeral mass will be held at 10:00 AM Thursday, March 7, 2019 at St. Columbkille Catholic Church, 12171 Iona Road, Fort Myers, Fl 33908.    The family will receive friends from 6PM until 8PM Wednesday, March 6, 2019 at the Baldwin Brothers Funeral Home, 4320 Colonial Blvd., Fort Myers, FL 33966.  There will a private burial at the Sarasota National Cemetery.
