Julia was a strong woman who lived life to its fullest. She was proud of her Irish heritage and enjoyed spending time with people, shopping and playing in the casinos at Mohegan Sun and Atlantic City. Her family was most important.

The love of her life, Julia's husband of 51 years, William C. Raineri, with whom she enjoyed countless drives to Penn Lake and Atlantic City, died on Aug. 18, 2004. A daughter, Carol Paglianite; brothers, Anthony and James Madden; and sisters, Patricia Uzdilla; Ann Fox; Alberta Rembish; and Marion Williams, also preceded her in death.

She will be greatly missed by her sons; Dr. William and his wife, Mary, Liverpool, N.Y.; Anthony and his wife, Gina, Shavertown; and Charles and his wife, Erin, Bethlehem; daughters, Tina and her husband, George Tomascik, Florida; and Suzy and her husband, Dennis Koshier, Las Vegas, Nev.; grandchildren, Jennifer, Kristen, Beth, George, Anthony, Gino, Mia, Samuel and Benjamin; great-grandchildren, Greyson, Cole, Lilly, Rowan and Gianna; sister, Theresa Androckitis; nieces; nephews; and other family; and friends.

Julia's entire family is thankful for the loving, compassionate care she received from her daughter-in-law, Gina, and the staff of Meadows Nursing Center.

Julia's family will celebrate her life privately.
