Kathleen "Kaye" M. Marrazzo

Barneveld- Kathleen “Kaye” M. Marrazzo, age 80, passed away unexpectedly, yet peacefully in the comfort of her own home on Wednesday, June 18, 2025.

Kaye was born on June 15, 1945, in Birtle, Manitoba, Canada a cherished daughter of the late Thomas and Kathleen (Walley) Mathews. She graduated from Whitesboro Central Schools and would go on to obtain her Nursing Degree. In 1966, Kaye married her love Richard A. Marrazzo in Glens Falls, NY. She began her career with St. Luke’s Hospital and later served as a teacher’s aide in the Marcy Psychiatric Center.

She will always be remembered for her love of the simple things in life -- poolside BINGO, raising and caring for her beloved Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs, and making memories on the many family trips to Cape Hatteras and Aruba.

Kaye is survived by her devoted husband, Rich; sisters, Marianne and Laura; and her children: Michele (Carl), Adrienne, Marc and Lori (Matt). She was a proud grandmother to Sarah (Tony), Emily (Connor), Isabella, Ava, Dieter, Connor and Caden; and a joyful great-grandmother to Liliana, Juliana and Hudson. Kaye also leaves behind her latest pair of adored “ridgies”, Sandy and Rusty who were never far from her side.

In keeping with Kaye’s wishes, there will be no public funeral services or visitation. Her family will celebrate her life in private. The family requests those who wish to express sympathy to consider donating to their favorite animal welfare charity in Kaye’s name.

Funeral arrangements are under the guidance of the Scala, Roefaro & Karboski Funeral Home 1122 Culver Ave., Utica, Stephen Karboski and David Roefaro, directors.
