Ethel Racca Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Mrs. Racca, 87, of Anacoco, entered eternal rest on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at Golden Age of Welsh.
She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She loved Christian music in every form, whether it was singing, songwriting, or just listening to a good gospel song. She enjoyed crossword puzzles and could not pass up a good domino game. Above all, her favorites were Bingo and a hot cup of coffee. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Steve O. Racca, Sr.; two daughters, Mary Sybil Racca and Jean Ellen Racca; her parents, Edwin and Pearl Giles; one granddaughter, Elizabeth Ann Racca; and several brothers and sisters.
Those left to mourn her loss and cherish her memory include nine sons, Steve O. Racca, Jr. (Rosemarie) of Texas, Bobby Wayne Racca (Renee) of Anacoco, Dean A. Racca (Sharon) of Texas, William P. Racca (Lynn) of Arkansas, Clark B. Racca (Michelle) of Texas, Curtis L. Racca (Connie) of Rayne, Michael L. Racca (Cheri) of Lake Charles, Dale E. Racca (Jody) of Westlake, and Don A. Racca (Julie) of Hayes; one daughter, Stephanie McCormick (Gary) of Texas; one brother, Andy Giles of Jennings; three sisters, Jenny Mayfield of Sulphur, Mildred Deville (Mike) of Sulphur, and Winnie Taylor of Nevada; numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren; and three great-great grandchildren.
A time of visitation will be held in the Chapel of Rush Funeral Home, Oakdale, on Saturday, July 19, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. until time of service.
