Schenectady — Raphael "Rae" (Civitello) Cirincione, 93, died unexpectedly on April 28,

2026, surrounded by the love of her family. She was a lifelong resident of Schenectady

and a graduate of Nott Terrace High School. She worked for the Welfare Department

before becoming a stay-at-home mother, a role at which she truly excelled.

Rae was predeceased by her husband, Dr. Dominic Cirincione, with whom she shared

57 years of marriage. She was the youngest of four daughters born to Ralph and Rose

(Mastrianni) Civitello. Rae was the devoted mother of Thomas (Allison), Richard (Pam),

and James (Debbie). She adored her grandchildren, Tyler, Kelsey, Katie, Andrew, Tina,

and Henri, and is also survived by several loving nieces and nephews. In addition to her

parents, Rae was predeceased by her sisters, Anne Marie Angerami, Catherine

Civitello, and Elvera Perrino.

Rae cherished time spent with family and friends. She was always fashionable and

loved having a reason to dress nicely and wear jewelry. For many years, she and her

husband enjoyed spending the winter months at their condominium in Vero Beach. She

was known for her excellent cooking and her deep love for her family. She will be dearly

missed by all who knew her. Rae was a devoted Catholic who said the Rosary every

day and was a Parishioner of St. John the Evangelist Church.

Our family extends sincere gratitude to the staff of Ellis Hospital C-6 for their kindness,

compassion, and wonderful care during her final illness.
