REBECCA "BECKY" GIACHETTI

Becky was born on October 4, 1935. She met the love of her life, John Giachetti in high school and married on June 4, 1955. They raised two daughters, Nancy and Lynn, and often played surrogate parents to their daughter’s friends. Becky’s heart and door were always open to anyone who needed them. Becky and her husband John were devoted partners for the entirety of their lives. They loved to travel together, throw parties with friends and in general always find great joy in whatever they were involved with at the time. Becky was an avid bowler, active in the Fairmount Fire Dept. Auxiliary and with the West Genesee Marching Band Parents Association, where both her daughters were members of the Wildcat Color Guard. Once she was bestowed the title of Grandma with the birth of her grandkids, Becky took the role to heart insisting that anyone of all ages, who knew her through her beloved grandkids, call her “Grandma G”. The moniker wasn’t just a title, but a promise. Becky felt her purpose was to be a source for understanding, warmth, and kindness to anyone who needed it. That was the promise she made as “Grandma G”; she was always available with an open heart and open mind, to offer compassion and an empathetic ear, whether you were a lifelong friend or someone she met that day. Becky will be remembered for her love of life. She believed whole heartedly in dwelling in the beauty and joy life had to offer. What she loved, she loved with her whole spirit. Her great loves in her life were black coffee, chardonnay, a good book, a dark joke, travelling, dancing, and being the absolute life of any party. Beyond these loves, however, Becky treasured her family above all else. Her giving nature manifested tenfold for her beloved husband, children, and grandchildren. She found her joy in giving anything she could to her family; love, empathy, a place to stay, a good meal; if they needed anything, Becky would do everything in her power to provide it. She was a respite of warmth and kindness to anyone who needed her. Her generous spirit was her gift to her family, and to anyone who crossed her path. Becky was predeceased by her parents, William and Margaret (Nelepovitz) Housman, her loving husband John “Chick” and daughter, Lynn Marie Powers. She is survived by her daughter, Nancy (Donnie) Mandurano, of Oswego, four grandchildren, Christina Lee, of Oswego, John Letterle, of Liverpool, Amanda Powers, of Chicago, IL and Timothy Powers, of Columbus, OH and four sweet great-grandchildren, Leah, Fiona, Broderick and Jared. Family and friends may call from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Thursday, March 31st at BAGOZZI TWINS FUNERAL HOME, 2601 Milton Ave, Solvay. Entombment will follow in Greenlawn Memorial Park, Warners. Donations may be made in her memory to a charity of your choice. Please share online memories and tributes at www.bagozzitwins.com.
