Marianna Futia

Albany, NY-Marianna “Anna” Futia, 88, passed away peacefully at her home on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 next to her loving husband, Nino. She was a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. Born in New York City, she was the daughter of the late John and Catherine Ravalli of Grammichele, Sicily, sister to the late Maria Ravalli and to Michael Ravalli. Marianna was an avid dancer alongside her husband as well as an avid church-goer. Though she had many things she enjoyed and loved, her main love was her family. She enjoyed her summers in Lake George and entertaining family and friends, tending to her flower garden and giving her peonies away to family and friends. She enjoyed cooking for her loved ones, especially every Sunday for family dinner with her siblings, children, and grandchildren. Marianna had a deep love for her children, and especially her grandchildren. She helped raise all of her grandchildren — she was always there and her family was her only priority. While there are endless cherished memories with our mom and grandmother, a few that will always stand out are our family trip to Italy, baking Christmas cookies with her grandchildren every year, and seeing her face light up every time she saw her great-grandsons in her final months. Marianna is survived by her loving husband Cosimo “Nino” Futia; children Rosanne Plouman (William), Cathy Futia, Joseph Futia, and John Futia (Sara); her grandchildren Nicholas Plouman (Lucianna Rizzo), Alexandria Ciovacco (Maximillian), Krista Plouman (Daniel Casey), Nino Futia, Giovanni Futia, Rocco Futia, Paul Futia, and Anna Futia; her great-grandchildren Jack and Theodore Ciovacco. She is also survived by her brother Michael Ravalli (Helen), sister-in-law Adela Baggetta, and nieces and nephews.
