Obituary of Roxanne Stella Rinaldi

RINALDI, Roxanne - Passed away peacefully at Hospice Niagara at the age of 68, with her family by her side. Loving wife and soulmate of Frank (predeceased 2020) for 45 years. Cherished and devoted mom to Robyn and Marco (Tracy). Predeceased by her parents Richard (Rosanne) Popiela and Dolores (Tony) Brzozowski. Much loved sister to Alicia (Ron) Marcella, Jimmy (Pauline) Popiela, and Sister-in-law to Jerry (Joan) Rinaldi. Roxanne will be lovingly remembered by her fur grandchildren, Peanut, Penny and Sam. She will also be dearly missed by many nieces, nephews, family & friends.

Together with her husband, brother-in-law Jerry and sister-in-law Joan, she worked many years contributing to the success and growth of Rinaldi Homes. She had since retired to take care of her husband Frank and spent time with her children, family and friends. Family was always something she was so proud of and the many vacations, casino trips, rounds of golf and celebrations have always been her most treasured memories.

Roxanne was a strong woman and she will always be remembered for her infectious laugh and her vibrant personality. She was a true warrior that not only helped her husband fight off his health battles but also fought her own tough battle with cancer as long as she could. She will now be forever united with her loving husband and is suffering no more.

The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Hospice Niagara. They will be forever grateful for their kind and compassionate care during such a difficult time.

Arrangements are entrusted to the GEORGE DARTE FUNERAL HOME, 585 Carlton St., St. Catharines. A service will take place at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, April 26, 2023 to honor both Frank and Roxanne Rinaldi at St. Alfred Church, 272 Vine St., St. Catharines and a celebration of life to follow at 1:00 PM at Club Roma, 125 Vansickle Road, St. Catharines. If desired, memorial donations may be made to Hospice Niagara.
