Julia D. Debraccio

Delanson - Julia D. DeBraccio, 71, passed away on Saturday, February 19, 2022. Born in Schenectady, NY, she was the daughter of the late Frederick Dykeman and Margaret Beretz Dykeman. She was happily married to Vincent DeBraccio for 46 years.

Julia was a past member of the Delanson United Methodist Church and the Farmers of America. She was an Accounts Receivable Specialist with Matthew Bender in NY. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting, tending to her flower garden, horses, and cooking, especially for holiday gatherings and birthdays. She loved being a wife and mother to her family and spending time with them.  An expert Tetris and Dr. Mario player, she especially enjoyed family quiet time at the family camp on Sacandaga Lake.  She was good-natured, would give the shirt off her back to someone who needed it, and she was a stellar listener who strived to be fair to everyone.

She is survived by her husband, Vincent, her sons; Marc (Michael) DeBraccio, Gregg DeBraccio and Steven (Alexandria) DeBraccio, her brothers; David Dykeman and Terry Dykeman, as well as many loving relatives and close friends.
