Ramoth Frances (Millin) Barsotti died peacefully on June 13, 2026. Rae or Ramy, as she was known to family and friends, was born on October 9, 1932, and was 93 when she passed away

Rae was GORGEOUS – inside and out.

On the outside she was movie star beautiful, tall, and statuesque. She loved fashion and always dressed in style. It was a rare occasion when dining in a restaurant or shopping that some stranger did not comment to her on her appearance, most often due to her stunning white hair. Rae was a show stopper.

On the inside, she possessed a brilliant mind and a vivacious personality coupled with a generous nature and legendary empathy born of her humble beginnings and the tragedies she herself had endured.

Rae loved to buy lottery tickets and would fantasize about the people she would help when she hit the jackpot. Never herself. Always somebody else. Although she never won the lottery, she took care of a lot of people and was known to palm a $20 every now and then.

Rae loved to read. Her Book Club was a circle of treasured friends meeting every month for many years.

She followed the news and would keep those close to her informed about current events and how much she liked Ari Melber and Rachel, Chris, Larry, Stephanie and Ali. She really liked Ari Melber. Might have had something to do with his looks.

Rae was a gorgeous, charming, intelligent, clever and incredibly quick witted liberal and loyal Democrat – to state the obvious.

Rae was widowed at the at the age of 39 when her husband Chuck Stuppy died suddenly. She was left to raise two small children, Lance and Jean Renee. Then tragedy struck again when Lance died at the age of 16 in a car accident.

Rae persevered. And then she met renowned New Yorker cartoonist Charlie Barsotti on a blind date arranged by Rae’s brother, Russ Millin. Charlie and Rae fell in love and what followed was a 36 year marriage and business partnership that ended when Charlie died of brain cancer.

Rae is survived by her best friend, companion, and daughter Jean Renee Barsotti. As Rae’s body shut down it was Jean that cared for her. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. Lovingly with great devotion. Jean lit up Rae’s life. Rae was in her daughter’s arms when she headed to heaven. A beautiful good bye.

In addition to Lance and Chuck Stuppy, Rae was predeceased by her Father (Frank Millin), her Mother (Jenny Huff Millin), and her brothers Russ, Steve and Kenneth Millin.

In addition to Jean, Rae is survived by step children, Kerry Barsotti-Scott, Sue Woodward, Wendy Barsotti, Michael (Kate) Barsotti, son-in-law Jim Scott, step grandchildren Ben Barsotti, Kathryn Scott Aspinwall, Jesse Woodward, numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, and many, many life long friends.

Rae’s body failed her over the years after Charlie died. She went from cane to walker to wheel chair and suffered a litany of ailments that kept her in and out of the hospital and doctor offices. But her mind and compassion remained firmly in tact. No matter how miserable her physical condition Rae always made it a point to offer up compliment, a kind word and show of appreciation to others.

And her sense of humor never left her. As she was at death’s door, unable to get out of bed, and in constant pain, she was asked “How do you feel, Aunt Ramy”. At first, her mumbled response could not be deciphered. So they asked again. Through the fog that attends the end of life, Aunt Ramy raised her head and said “With my fingers”. And then she grinned. She always wanted to leave them laughing.

Rae was a force of nature, the likes of which we may never see again.

A celebration of Rae’s life will be held at a later time.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. Donations can be made online, by phone or by mail.
