In a recent Buffalo News obituary, the family of the late Carole Scarsella, from the Buffalo suburb of Lackawanna, listed five things they said defined her life:
Reading, especially the Stephen King books.
Smoking. “She smoked millions of cigarettes,” one reads.

But in death, she apparently now enjoys a level of fame that she might never have received outside of her family in her lifetime. The posts went viral, and his legacy was cemented in the hearts of long-suffering Buffalonians.
