Andrea (Polastis) Cappello

Andrea (Polastis) Cappello, 82, of Warners, and Pompano Beach, FL, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at Syracuse Home, surrounded by her loving family.

Andrea was a graduate of Convent High School in 1962 and went on to attend OCC. She dedicated more than 30 years of her professional life to General Electric, where she worked in Accounts Receivable with diligence and care.

Andrea also loved traveling and taking cruises with her husband and friends, pursuits that brought her much happiness throughout her life.

The family of Andrea extends a heartfelt thank you to the staff of Syracuse Home, Unit 2, for their compassionate and loving care.
