Rae was born on October 13, 1924 in Jerome, Idaho, to Hannah Elvira Jones Anderson and Andrew Moroni Anderson. She was raised and educated in Shoshone and graduated from Shoshone High School in 1942.
After high school she worked in Clearfield, Utah at a Navy supply depot. Near the end of WWII in 1944, she came back to Shoshone. It was there that she met Vic Bozzuto while working at the local dry cleaning shop. After a whirlwind romance, they were married on Christmas Day in 1944, and returned to Connecticut where she worked in a Civil Defense plant while Vic fulfilled his Naval duties.
After the war ended they settled in Connecticut where Bill, Bob, and Vicky were born. Five years later they moved to Idaho, where Tony was born.
She assisted Vic in starting and running Bozzuto Furniture in 1961 which is still being operated today by their son, Tony. Vic and Rae had 65 loving years together before Vic passed away in 2010.
Rae's joy was her family; she loved gardening and cooking for them.
