Germaine’s passion was her children who survive her, Paul (Jenifer) Lord and Joan (Chad) Liggetto, Germaine’s beloved granddaughter, Alexandra Marie, was always by her "Gammie’s" side! 

Germaine’s love for children extended to her career path which she spent first as a Batavia City School District substitute teacher while at the same time she pursued her studies to be an elementary school teacher.  During that time, Germaine also worked for the family business, Mancuso Restaurant.  Once she completed her teaching degree, she taught at John Kennedy for 20 years in a blended classroom.  Her classrooms were building blocks for many children who thrived with her encouragement and attention getting experiences.  Germaine embraced her community’s resources to create relevance and spark interest and enthusiasm for her young students.  Genesee County Manager, Jay Gsell, was a long-time Junior Achievement Consultant for her classroom program.  

Active in the Batavia Teacher’s Association serving as Grievance Chair, Germaine always said her ability to be an activist for teachers’ rights is a testament to her late lawyer husband, Anthony Irrera.  Germaine also worked for the Batavia STAR program until the day she died. 

Germaine was a past Scholarship Chairperson for the Paolo Busti Cultural Foundation of Genesee County.  Along with her husband, Tony Irrera, the couple served in other capacities as officers, etc., while on the Board of Directors of the Foundation as well.

Germaine’s strength and subtle humor leave us with a heartbreaking refrain, “Good-bye to all my loves.  You walked with me to the end, unable to stop anything from happening, but there.  In the end, presence is everything.”

Please share your words of comfort with Germaine's family at www.tomaszewskifh.com or for more information please call Michael at (585)343-7500.
