RAUKER - Josephine A.
(nee Totaro)

Died peacefully in the comfort of friends and family on Monday, Decem- ber 22, 2014. She was the daughter of Carl and Laura Totaro of Farnham, NY, born on May 25, 1924. She made her home there. Raised her three chil- dren there, welcomed them back when they visited with love and pride. She was a good daughter, a loving wife and mother, proud grandmother and great-grandmother. One of her proudest achievements was to help found the Steve J. Rauker Memorial Park in Farnham after her husband passed away in 1988. She celebrated the ac- complishments of family and friends, loved cooking a great meal, and above all appreciated a good joke. She was predeceased by her parents, her hus- band Steve, her sisters Jessie and Marie and her brother Carl; she leaves her daughter Cynthia Rigby, MD (Ron), sons, Steve Martin Rauker (Brian) and Thomas George Rauker (Karen), grandson James Michael Rigby (Winnie), granddaughter Lucy Rauker; great-grandchildren Taylor Nguyen and Noah Rigby, a sister Frances DeMarco, nieces and nephews and her “adopted” daughter Maggie Borosky. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Fri- day at St. Anthony’s Church, Farnham at 10:30. Interment will be St. Anthony’s Cemetery with her husband Steve. Arrangements by the LATIMORE- SCHIAVONE FUNERAL HOME. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memo- rial contributions be made to the Farn- ham Fire Dept. or St. Anthony’s Church in Mrs. Rauker’s memory.
