Jolita Fornuto Obituary

Jolita (Katrin) Rakutis Fornuto

Webster - Left her earthly body on December 11, 2020 in her 54th year. Waiting to greet her on the other side was her mother, Raissa Reitter.

Jolita spent this lifetime of her soul's journey as a wife, mother, sister, aunt, teacher and friend to many.

She considered herself a life-long learner, believed in the power of laughter and was determined to use all of her God given gifts while she was here.

Jolita was truly grateful for the love and joy she shared with David, her husband of 27 years, along with her three children, Caroline, Audrey and David. We will gather to celebrate Jolita's life and share stories THURSDAY December 17th 2-7 pm at Falvo Funeral Home 1295 Fairport Nine Mile Pt. Rd. (Rte. 250) Webster. A Memorial Mass will follow on a later date when we return to normalcy.

She lived authentically and extended kindness, compassion and empathy to everyone on her path. If you knew Jolita and she touched your life in a positive way, pay it forward by extending kindness to a stranger whenever possible. And don't forget…It's ALWAYS possible. In lieu of flowers, we hope you will consider sprinkling a little of Jolita's love and light wherever you go.

As Jolita's long time veterinarian to Manny and Oscar, I was so shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. She was always such a pleasure to work with and she adored her furry kids. Prayers to Jolita's family as they grieve this unimaginable loss.

Jolita was one of a kind... She was a bright soul with a twinkle in her eye that was one of a kind . I am so thankful she came in and out of my life for well over 35 years . In the crazy way our paths cross, I never knew Caroline was her daughter .... but I recognized that same twinkle the first time I met her beautiful daughter .

I will make sure I strive to spread the amazing gift of kindness and true love for all just like my friend Jolita did

Remembering our High School glory days at Bishop Kearney, Jolita was always so kind, fun, and bubbly. Though I haven't seen her since then, she looks like she has never changed.
What a beautiful family she created.
Jolita was much closer to mutual friends of mine,
This year has been so tough on everyone, can't imagine what you all are going through.
I work for a great engineering company Jensen/BRV Engineering. Instead of gifts of wine and cookies this year, the owners have asked me to give donations to local charities in need.
We are donating $500 dollars in Jolita's honor to her dear friend Janice Cammerili Hyde's foundation Never Say Never (Horse Stable that is used for Special needs children with rescue horses)
God Bless you all and I hope this will spread more love and cheer in her honor.
