Raffaela Ann Menzie

"Rae" as she was known to her family and friends, was a retired kitchen aide and housekeeper at St. Joseph Adult Care Home in Tuxedo, NY. She was an avid bingo and casino game player which she enjoyed. She was a loving mother to her three daughters, and loving grandmother to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She touched a lot of lives with her kindness, always ready to lend a helping hand.

She leaves to cherish her memory: daughters, Marge Prince (Tony Dembek) and Sue Melnyk (Rick Melnyk); sisters Rose Kauer (Jim) and Mary Louise Gisonno; brother, Carmen Gisonno (Judy); grandchildren: Michael Wright (Stephanie), Jennifer, Robert and Ryan; great grandchildren: Kayleigh, Bradley and Wesley; a host of nieces, a nephew and friends.

In addition to her parents, Rae is predeceased by her beloved husband James Menzie, her daughter Elaine Connor, great granddaughter Enessa Joy, great aunts and uncles, cousins and countless friends.

She will be deeply missed, and her unconditional love, courage and strength will remain in our hearts forever.
