It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Josephine Picco. Josephine, aged 66 years, passed peacefully away surrounded by her loving family on November 11, 2022 in her home after a courageous battle with cancer. Leaving to mourn with many precious and loving memories are her 4 daughters: Jackie (Darren), Kristy (Steve), Terri-Lynn (Jamie) and Lynn Ann (Steven). Jose was a cherished grandmother of 8 grandchildren whom she adored: Vincent (Maribeth), Brayden, Jamie-Lynn, Devany, Carter, Emma, Sarah, and Patrick, as well as her special great-grandson Chase.
Predeceased by her parents: Rita and Edward Lake and Leonard Picco, sister Bride Quessy, sister-in-law Dorothy Picco, nephews Jonathan Lake and Darrell Green, brothers-in-law Noel Quessy and Dan Griffin, as well as members of the Dunne family: Geraldine Dunne, Patrick Dunne, Joanne Dunne and Debbie Dunne.
She will be forever missed by her siblings; Brothers: Ron (Ellen), and Dave (Jessie). Sisters: Geraldine, Theresa, Jane (Gary), Noreen (Ken), Marilyn, and Gladys (Jerry). As well as a large number of nieces, nephews and friends.
Also leaving to mourn is her partner, Johnny Dunne along with his family members: Wayne (Phyllis), Paddy (Donna), Karen (Paddy), Paul (Bernadette), Glen (Val), Mike (Krista), Dennis and Greg.
Josephine was an amazing, generous woman who would always be willing to lend a helping hand for anyone in need. Josephine was the life of every party and enjoyed having a good time. She knew how to have fun and her silly antics made many laugh. Josephine surrounded herself with family and friends and loved having people around, especially the young children in her life.
Leading up to her final days, Josephine continued to have a sense of humor and was grateful for having many of her family members around.
While her family are deeply saddened by her passing, we are all so thankful that we had the honor of having such a special person in our lives.
With respect to Josephine’s wishes there will be no visitation. A celebration of her life will take place on Caul’s Chapel, 84 LeMarchant Road, on Monday, November 14, 2022 at 2:00pm.
As expressions of sympathy, donations in Josephine’s memory may be made to the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Josephine Picco 2022..
