Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, on June 16, 1959, Rae lived a life filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. She was truly the life of every party and never wanted the celebration to end. Her infectious spirit, warm heart, and vibrant personality brought joy to everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Above all else, Rae treasured her family. She loved them deeply, and they loved her just as fiercely. Whether gathering for holidays, celebrating life’s milestones, or simply spending time together, she found her greatest happiness surrounded by those she loved.
Raebelle leaves behind her devoted husband, John Minicucci; her beloved son, Vincent Minicucci, daughter-in-law, Miiko Minicucci, and her cherished grandchildren, Sophia and Gianni, who brought immense pride and happiness to her life.
She is also lovingly remembered by her siblings and their families: Christina and Frank Cipriano; Alan and Cindy Morrison, along with niece Nicole Andersen, and nephews Steve and Brian
Chatzispiros; Donald and Dale Morrison, nephew Daniel Morrison and niece Sarah Dowsett; Mary Morrison, nephew and niece Nick and Kylie Garcha; and Anne Marie and Ron Boyce, along with nephew Dustin Boyce and niece Samantha Goriak.
Rae’s warmth, laughter, and generous heart will be profoundly missed by her extended family, countless friends, and everyone whose lives she touched. Though her passing leaves an immeasurable void, the memories she created and the love she shared will remain with her family forever.
Her family will forever remember her joyful spirit, her unwavering love, and her ability to make every gathering brighter simply by being there. Her legacy lives on in the laughter she inspired, the love she gave so freely, and the family she cherished above all else.
A funeral service will be held on: Thursday, August 13, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. at Ocean View Funeral Home 4000 Imperial Street Burnaby, BC V5J 1A4
