Saratoga Springs, NY - Rachel M. Caputo, 82, of Raymond Watkins Apartments passed away peacefully Tuesday morning, May 24, 2011 at home after a brief illness. Her family hadnt left her side since she fell ill and they were all there at her passing. Born December 4, 1928 in Saratoga Springs, she attended Saratoga Springs Schools and was a parishioner of St. Clements Church. She was predeceased by her husband of 30 years, Ralph James Caputo, seven brothers, and two sisters. Rachel was a devoted housewife, loving mother, doting grandmother, and adoring great-grandmother. She loved to be with other people, becoming quite the social butterfly since moving into Ray Watkins Apts. With bus trips, bingo, cards, game night and endless other activities, she could rarely be found in her apartment. When she was home, she could be found sewing, crocheting, and knitting, but her favorite activity of all was cooking and sharing her creations with all her friends. Survivors include her long time companion, Raymond Heslin; sister, Mary Farrell of Glens Falls; son, Joseph V. (Rosemary) Caputo of Rochester, NY; two daughters, Philomena (Robert C.) Murphy of Saratoga Springs and Mary Anne (James) LaPointe of Brant Lake, NY; grandchildren, Robert C. (Leigh) Murphy, Jr. of Saratoga Springs, Jamie M. (Michael) Parisi of Gansevoort, Ralph J. (Katie) Caputo of Clayton, NY, Dorothy M. Caputo of LaFargeville, NY; great grandchildren, Brady A. Murphy and Caden M. Parisi and numerous nieces and nephews as well as her beloved cat, Tiger. Relatives and friends may call from 9:30 to 10:30am Thursday, May 26, 2011 at Our Lady's Chapel in the Parish Center at St. Clement's Church, 231 Lake Ave. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11am in the church by the Rev.
