Barbara A. Reile, 62, of Clark Mills, gave in to the Lord's request to be by his side and share her exuberant compassion with others entering heaven during this Holy week. Her passing occurred at her home on April 1, 2010 after a courageous battle with carcinoma. Barbara's reluctant transition was made easier while in the care of her loving daughter, Jodie, who cared for her during her year long ordeal. Jodie was honored to be there for her mother during her battle and especially in her final moments. Barbara was born in Utica on February 2, 1948, the daughter of Frank and Mary (Neri) Raspante. She was blessed to be a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a mother, and a proud grandmother. Barbara will be forever remembered for her vibrance, beauty, resilience, and friendship. Barbara is survived by her beloved daughters and sons-in-law, Jodie and Kristopher Zaborek (whom she loved as if he were her own son), and their son Joey, the first born grandchild and Barbara's pride and joy, Ilion, Stacie L. Reile, Miami Beach, FL, Rebecca and John Young, and their children, Wyatt and Jamison, who held a special place in Barbara's heart, Clayville; her father, Frank Raspante. She is also survived by her extended family, including brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews. She is predeceased by her mother, Mary, and by her eldest sister, Elizabeth. Relatives and friends are invited to join in the Celebration of Barbara's life at 1:00 pm on Wednesday, April 7, 2010 at St. Mary Mt. Carmel Church in Utica. Those wishing may offer their donations in care of Barbara's daughter, Jodie Zaborek, in her memory. Arrangements are entrusted to the Heintz Funeral Home, 10 East Park Row, Clinton.
