Traci Jeanette Ayers

Traci Jeanette Ayers (4/23/78- 10/7/22) left this world, before we wanted to let her go, to join her beloved Mother (Susan Ayers) and brother (Matthew Ayers) who were there holding her hand and welcomed her with open arms. She is heartbroken to leave her doting father Harlan Ayers behind as well as several aunts, uncles and friends.  How do you sum up someone like Traci in words? No one can, it is not possible. Her love for everyone was more than we can describe.  

Traci had a way about her that is nearly impossible to capture in words. Words, music, and poems were Traci’s medium. Traci could articulate feelings, caring, and emotion in an indescribable way that we all wished we could. Traci got people. 

Traci and her family were dealt a crappy card when they lost her best friend and brother Matt at a too early age. This loss was immeasurable, but the collective love this family had for each other, and those who loved the Ayers family, attempted to lighten the load, and persevere. 

Traci was a friend like no other. She knew how to make those around her feel better, to lift them up, to make them their best selves. Traci never judged anyone, she truly gave her heart and soul to her friends and family. Even though her day-to-day life was painful and grueling, she never forgot an important moment, ever. Traci innately knew how to help her friends when they may or may not have known they needed it. Traci loved to read, write, and listen to music. Those were her three truths. Traci captured her life and the lives of her friends and family. Traci remembered everything; she was the yearbook of everyone’s lives. Her ability to articulate feelings and her sense of humor and infectious laugh were unmatched. Traci gave her whole heart and soul to those she loved both human and cat. Her love for Muffin, Bella, and Theo was epic, they brought such joy to her days. She was a true cat mama, and they loved and adored her right back. 

Earth cries and heaven smiles. We will never be the same with the loss of Traci, but she is now without pain and that brings those who knew and loved her some comfort as we grieve this loss. Traci, we love you and we will do our best to honor your memory and care about friends and family the way you did. 

e.e cummings time for daffodils: “ and a mystery to be (when time from time shall set us free) forgetting me, remembering me”

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later time. In lieu of a donation please complete a random act of kindness, check on a friend, and hug a loved one a little tighter in her honor. Her love and empathy for her family and friends was unparalleled.  

We love you Traci Jeanette Ayers, the world will never be the same with this indescribable loss of such a bright light. Traci will live on with all of us forever. We will feel her in our hearts, hear her when we listen to music, and know she is with us when she sends us her signs. We love you Traci, we will never, ever, forget you. Let your soul shine till the break of day.

Ross Peduto passed away on Sunday, August 7, 2022, at the age of 94. Ross remained happy and peaceful in his final years. He battled Alzheimer’s with grace and showed courage in facing life’s challenges with a smile. 

Ross met the love of his life, Carole, at Oquaga Lake. It was love at first sight. They were inseparable and deeply in love for 62 years. He is survived by his wife, Carole, his sister Jean Johnson, his children; James (Denise Tatich), Karen (Jay Beckhorn), and Joan (Bruno Oblak), and three grandchildren; Michael (Skye), Lena, and Carole.  He is also survived by his Connecticut cousins and his longtime buddy, Michael (Ann) Castaldi.  He was predeceased by his parents, Anthony and Filomena, and his sister Lena Martin.

Ross was born in Old Forge, Pennsylvania.  He graduated from Binghamton Central and then Broome Community College. He began working at Roberts Maintenance Supply as an intern and never left, building and owning the business over the next 50 years.

Ross’s obituary would be remiss without acknowledging Dr. Jagraj Rai’s dedicated care, compassion, and support which was deeply appreciated through the years.

Private funeral services will be held at the convenience of the family, and entombment in Riverhurst Cemetery, Endwell. Expressions of sympathy may be made in his memory to Mercy House of the Southern Tier, 212 N. McKinley Avenue, Endicott, NY 13760
