Marcia Ruth Ragonese

With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, friend, and faithful servant of God, Marcia Ruth Ragonese, who peacefully passed away on May 22, 2026.

Born in Syracuse, NY on December 9, 1939, Marcia lived a life rooted in faith, love, family, and devotion to those around her. She was the kind of woman who made everyone feel welcomed, cared for, and deeply loved.

Marcia’s greatest joy in life was her family. She played an incredible role in helping raise her grandchildren, creating memories and traditions that will be treasured forever. Her love was steady, comforting, and unconditional.

She found happiness in life’s simple pleasures — knitting with care, watching Basketball & Fox News, attending Bible study and lunches with her cherished girlfriends, and making special memories cruising with Timmy. Her faith in God guided her throughout her life and was evident in the kindness, strength, and grace she shared with others every day.

Marcia is survived by her loving daughters, Tammy Taylor and Susan (Steve) Spinner; her beloved grandchildren, Luke (Antonella) Taylor, AJ Reynolds, and Leah (Nino) Nieves; and her one and only great-granddaughter, Gianna Nieves.

Marcia will be remembered for her warm heart, unwavering faith, gentle spirit, and the deep love she had for her family and friends. Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing she is now at peace in the arms of the Lord.

Her memory will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
