Mary F. Raffetto, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and aunt, died Thursday. She was 92.

Mary was the beloved wife of John E. Raffetto for 59 years. He passed away in 2011. She was the devoted mother of John C., the loving grandmother of Michael, and the mother-in-law of Kathy Bergen Raffetto.

Mary was a feisty and fun-loving dynamo--caring, loving and generous to a fault. She was an angel to so many, hosting holiday meals, helping to care for her grandson, Michael, and making sure the family fridge was well-stocked with her homemade specialties. A talented artist, she loved painting, dancing, picnics, fireworks and old-time TV shows.

She was a volunteer for USO during World War II. Early on, she was a telephone operator and later worked for many years as a keypunch operator for Bankers Life Insurance.

Mary was the daughter of the late Benjamin and Netta Moody. She is survived by her son, John; her daughter-in-law, Kathy; her grandson, Michael; and nieces and nephews, including John Garvey. She was preceded in death by five siblings as well as her sister- and brother-in-law, Kathryn and John Garvey Sr.
