Barbara L. Scacchi
Barbara L. Scacchi, 85, of Main Street, Limestone, passed away Saturday, December 21, 2024, at The Pavilion at BRMC.
Born May 2, 1939, in Olean, NY, she was a daughter of the late Marvin B. and Edythe L. (Pfouts) Kessel. Barb was a 1957 graduate of Limestone Union Free High School.
On August 1, 1959, in Portville NY, she married Donald E. Scacchi who survives.
After her marriage she traveled the country while her husband served in the Navy. Don retired in 1976, and they returned to Limestone. She formerly worked as the Limestone Village Clerk and was the Town Justice for the Town of Carrollton for many years, retiring in 2004.
Barb was a member of the American Legion Post 1560 Auxiliary in Limestone and the New York State Magistrates Association. She enjoyed knitting and crocheting but her passion was baking and was known for her delicious and unique Christmas cookie bowls made of gingerbread.
Surviving in addition to her husband Don, of 65 years, is one daughter, Renee (Russ) Combs, of Wexford, three grandchildren, five great grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren, one sister, Sherry (Mike) Sutherland, of Derrick City, and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, one granddaughter, Cassandra Combs Eick, and four brothers, Stephen Kessel in infancy, Ronald Kessel, Marvin “Denny” Kessel and Jeffrey Kessel.
Friends will be invited to a Celebration of Life later and will be announced. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Hollenbeck-Cahill Funeral Homes Inc.
