Barbara (Howard) Saraceno

Barbara (Howard) Saraceno, of Endicott, NY quietly passed on the morning of January 9, 2023 at the age of 85 after succumbing to the slow decline of dementia.

As with everything in her life, she made her transition from this world as easy as possible for everyone around her. She is predeceased by many family and friends, her husband (Frank Saraceno), brother (Glenn Howard), sister (Ruth Fish), and son (Raymond Corell). She is survived by her son (Frank), daughter (Lisa Strahley), grandchildren (Anthony, Katie, Meghan, Morghan, Ryan, and Braden), and great-grandchildren (Jayden, Rayna, Kylee, and Kolton). Many extended family members and life-long friends also feel her loss.

Barbara spent a lifetime sharing the love in her heart with others. Her extraordinary sense of style and ability to connect with others made her an excellent real estate agent and clothing store salesperson and manager, but most remember her for the loving and selfless friend and family member she was through her final days.

Though she loved the beach and her vacations at Cape May, her greatest joy came from spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was an excellent cook and provider whose genuine warmth shone through each encounter with everyone in her life.

Her family wishes to thank the staff at Yesteryears and the Willow Point Nursing Home for their loving care for Barbara these past months.

Barbara’s family will receive guests at the Leon Pucedo Funeral Home (1905 Watson Boulevard, Endicott, NY 13760) on Thursday, January 12, from 4-6 PM. They ask that in lieu of flowers, those wishing to express their condolences consider making a donation to Dementia Society of America.
