Giuseppina’s Obituary
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Giuseppina Scaglione (nee Rizzo), comforted by her loving children, at St. Joseph’s Hospital on Monday, January 17, 2022. Beloved wife of Salvatore (deceased) of almost fifty years, devoted mother of Lucia Veloce (William deceased), Joseph Scaglione (Juliana), and Francesca Bozzo (Anthony deceased), loving nonna of twelve grandchildren, Elisa (Luciano), Joseph (Lisa), Lucas, Josephine (Francis), Salvatore (Melissa), Raquel (Michael), Nicholas, Gabriel (Gabriella), Nina, Silvio (deceased), Anna Francesca, Sandra, and fourteen great-grandchildren whom she adored, Sophia, Roman, Vienna, Anthony, Joseph, Capri, William, Daniella, Vanessa, Adele, Nicolas, Ariella, Josie and Elena. Daughter-in-law of the late Giuseppe and Lucia Scaglione and sister-in-law of Salvatrice (Filippo deceased), Carmelo (Serafina), Angela (Giuseppe deceased), Nicola (Giulia), Calogero (Concetta deceased), Maria (Gaetano) Born in Racalmuto, Sicily in 1936, to Francesca and Giuseppe Rizzo, Giuseppina immigrated to Canada with her husband in 1966 in the hope of providing a better life for her children, leaving behind her mother and her sisters Franca (deceased) and Eduarda and many nieces and nephews. In spite of the distance, they shared a bond that could never be broken by space and time. Giuseppina was an intelligent, creative, strong woman who inspired and taught three generations to carry on her values, skills and traditions: sewing, knitting, crocheting, gardening, baking and cooking (but no one has ever been able to replicate the taste of her amazing tomato sauce). She had a great affection for animals, especially her cat Buddy and other family pets. She was happiest spending time with her family, and holding grandchildren. She brought love, joy and wisdom to us all. Visitation will be held at FRISCOLANTI FUNERAL CHAPEL on Friday January 21, 2022, from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. A Funeral Mass will take place at All Souls Church on Friday at 10:30 a.m. Interment to follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Burlington.
