- "Emily Voelxen Rapoport lived a very long and happy life before her passing on December 18, 2016. She was 96.
Emily was a life long resident of Albany, and shared a love of the community with her husband, Bert, who passed away just shy of a year before Emily’s passing. They were childhood sweethearts who married on March 10, 1941; a very happy union they enjoyed for close to 75 years.
Emily was an avid and formidable duplicate bridge player for most of her life. In fact, so good that she taught the game as well as playing it. Other favorite activities included reading books and going to the movies. And, she loved to play Scrabble, in which she excelled.
Emily and Bert loved to travel the world together, and after Bert retired, to spend the winter months at their home in Zephryr Hills, Florida. However, Albany was always truly home and the place where they raised their children, Jan and George. Emily was a wonderful stay at home Mom, totally involved in all aspects of her family’s life and activities. Emily’s many talents included both knitting and crocheting, in which she was very skilled. Family and friends across the United States were the lucky recipients of her beautiful hand made scarfs, afghans, and clothing, all made with exact, tender loving care.
Emily is survived by her daughter, Jan Hunt of Albany, New York and her husband, Jim, her son, George Rapoport of Arizona and his wife Marie, her grandsons Scott Rapoport of California and his wife Augusta, Jason Rapoport of Nevada and his wife, Laura, and her three great grandchildren: Brooke, Richie, and Paisley Rae."
