Agnes L. (Jweid) Cerro

Mrs. Agnes (Jweid) Cerro, age 90, of Whitesboro, passed away on Friday October 28, 2016 at the Eastern Star Home with the love and support of her family.

She was born on April 21, 1926 in Utica, a daughter of the late George and Zahida (Mary) Hallak Jweid, and was educated in local schools.

Agnes was the co-owner and operator, alongside her husband Vincent "Whitey" of Whitey's Luncheonette and Cerro's Luncheonette on Bleecker St., as well as the Glenn Motel for many years, until her retirement.
