CASCIO, Girolama:
It is with great sadness that the Cascio and Silveri families announce the passing of their beloved mother, Girolama at the age of 101. Girolama is the cherished mother of Jack and his wife Joan and devoted mother to daughter Rosalie and her husband Marcello. She will be tremendously missed by her grandchildren, Matteo and his wife Joanna and Joanna and her husband Ali.
Girolama was predeceased in 1988 by her husband Giuseppe (Joe), whom she lovingly referred to as Peppino. Girolama came to Canada with her husband and son in 1950 and they settled in Windsor, Ontario where her daughter was born. They came to Guelph in 1959 when her husband became co-owner of Advance Car Wash.
Hard work and dedication to family was very important to Girolama. She was a seamstress, a gardener and a great cook and in her earlier years, she loved to crochet and knit.
Girolama is predeceased by her parents (Rosario and Bartolomea Corte) and by her four sisters and three brothers. She is predeceased by many in-laws in the USA, Australia and Italy.
She is the loving aunt to many nieces and nephews (Guelph, Hamilton, Toronto, Niagara Falls, New York, Australia and Italy) and a loving friend and neighbour.
A special thank you to Dr. Ian McPhee and all PSW’s from CCAC for the compassionate care they provided our mother during the last few years. Also, thank you to the Guelph General Hospital Emergency Department, 5th and 4th floor doctors and nurses as well as St. Joseph Health Centre Rehabilitation for their care these past three weeks.
