Mary Frances Ralabate

RALABATE, Mary (Falzone), 82, of Boca Raton, Florida passed away peacefully on August 16, 2025. 

Mary was born on December 16, 1942, in Buffalo, New York, to Michael and Frances (Albano) Falzone.  She graduated from Lafayette High School in 1960 and went on to work for the City of Coral Springs, Florida.

Mary married the love of her life, Salvatore Ralabate, and together they had three children Philip (Cathy), Debra (Jim) and Michael (Tara).

Her greatest joy was her family, and she was a proud grandmother to Danielle, Jonathan and Lauren (children to Jim and Debbie Camps) and to Michael Jr., Anthony and Sammy (children to Michael and Tara Ralabate).  She also cherished her extended family and the many moments and laughter they shared together.

Mary is survived by her siblings Joann Broncato (late Louis), Arlene Guagliano (late John), Barbara Henley, Michael Falzone (Iole), Danny Falzone (Debbie) and Anthony Falzone (Phyllis).  She was preceded in death by her brother Dennis Falzone (Jackie), her parents and her husband, Salvatore.

Many would agree, Mary was truly one of the most loving and strongest women we were blessed to know.  She loved spending time playing Bingo, playing card games and scratching her lotto tickets along with watching her favorite classic game shows, Match Game 1975 and The Price is Right.  Above all, she loved her family and treasured every moment with them.  She will be remembered for her resilience, her love of laughter, and the joy she brought to all who knew and loved her.

A memorial service will be held at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Cemetery in North Lauderdale, Florida at the end of September, 2025.
