The funeral for the late socialite Patti Raines, who was found dead in her Florida home on April 27, was originally tentatively scheduled for Tuesday.
But it happens later.
The Upper Crust Monument has caused some conflict among Reigns’ allies, insiders say.
Sources tell us who among her former Upper East Side friend group is helping plan her family’s funeral, and who is the beloved socialite who died tragically at the age of 70. There’s an infighting going on about who was the closest.
However, a source told Page Six there was no need to fight over who was closer because “she had an international community circle.”
“She knew a lot of people,” a source said of Reigns. Daughter of late oil tycoon Marvin Davis He famously owned 20th Century Fox, the Aspen Ski Company, and the Beverly Hills Hotel.
After being contacted by her Los Angeles-based philanthropist sister Nancy Davis, Raines’ New York Circle jumped at the opportunity to help the family find a venue in New York and build an invitation list.
I hear there was some behind-the-scenes drama with this situation.
One source said there were people within the friend group who were “harassing” them and were threatened as if it was “some sort of social event”.
A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles-based Davis family confirmed that friends offered their services to help with the ceremony in New York, ultimately stating, “Patti’s family is indebted to her close friends and family. We are planning a private service.”
“The family is very grateful to Patty’s many friends for their help. The family will respect their privacy during this difficult time,” a rep said. rice field.
A source familiar with the family said, “Davis’ events are always like a private, controlled guest list,” so he doesn’t understand all the fuss.
Like a scene from the nightly soap Dynasty that the Davis family inspired, one friend said Reigns didn’t want certain people to participate because of the way she talks about her in life behind her back. He even claimed that he didn’t want to.
Another source said, “People are taking advantage of her pathetic death,” while another said Reigns “had a lot of friends. Nobody has to be best friends.”
A source who has known the family for more than 40 years described the new set of pals they “haven’t heard of” as “a very petty group of people. It’s all about them and poor Patty’s.” It doesn’t matter,’ they said.
The Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office said it was awaiting the coroner to determine her cause of death.Raynes’ family believe she died of an asthma-related problem.
