Alyssa Raybuck's Obituary
Devoted wife, daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter, and friend Alyssa Raybuck (Giannirakis), passed away on Friday, February 2, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by loved ones who will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives to the fullest.
Alyssa is survived by her loving husband, William Raybuck, her sister Marina Giannirakis (fiancé, Will Singer), her parents Peter Giannirakis and Lynnlee Giannirakis (Ceccone), her wonderful grandparents Katie Giannirakis and David Ceccone, her incredible aunts and uncles, Leah and Angelo Savakis, Maria Giannirakis, and Lori and George Palmieri.

Alyssa was a brilliant and passionate development specialist for local Cleveland nonprofits, including the Cleveland Zoological Society, The City Club of Cleveland, and the Greater Cleveland Food Bank. She always strived to use her gifts to make the world a better place.
