Josephine DiMascio

CUYAHOGA FALLS - Our loving mother Josephine, 88, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her family and went to join our father, brothers, and the Lord August 13, 2010 after a year-long battle with cancer. She will be greatly missed by everyone she touched. She was the most caring mother and person we've ever come in contact with. She always put herself second to take care of others.

Over the years she worked at various jewelry and women's clothing stores, but her most cherished job was looking after and enjoying family.

She was preceded in death by parents, Onofrio and Eleanore Schiavone;, sister, Irene; brother, Jack (Rose) Schiavone; husband of 64 years, Albert; sons Phillip and Onofrio; and grandson, Phil, Jr. She will be sadly missed by son, Joseph (Debra) DiMascio; daughter, Alberta Paula Gahera; daughter-in-law, Kathy DiMascio; grandchildren, Monica and Erica DiMascio, Christopher (Sandy) DiMascio, Tony (Tammy) DiMascio, and Mike DiMascio; great-grandchildren, Kim DiMascio, Nicole and Jessie DiMascio; great-great-grandchildren, Augustan and Julia; and two very loving sisters that talked to each other every day, Teresa (Leslie) Kerr and Mary (Tony) Manago.

Friends may call from 5-8 pm Tuesday, August 17, at the Clifford-Shoemaker Funeral Home, 1930 Front St., Cuyahoga Falls. A Funeral Mass will take place Wednesday at 10 am in St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1761 Second St., Cuyahoga Falls. Final resting place Holy Cross Cemetery.
