Josephine Genovesi Obituary

Josephine "Josie" Genovesi, date of birth Sept. 3, 1933.

Josephine Genovesi of Manchester passed away Dec. 31, 2017, at the age of 84.

She was the daughter of Alexander and Helen (lLiska) Martin. She was predeceased by her husband, Vincent Genovesi; and son, John Genovesi.

She leaves behind four children, Mark Genovesi of Davie, Florida, Paul and Laurie Genovesi of Coventry, Gina Genovesi of Davie, Peter and Colleen Genovesi of Deltona, Florida; and a daughter-in-law, Lori Sawyer Genovesi; as well as seven grandchildren, Katie Genovesi Bohan, James Lixie, Scott Genovesi, Shawn Lixie, Samantha Genovesi Button, Christopher Genovesi, and Vinny Genovesi.

She married the love of her life, had five children, and lived a good life. She enjoyed spending time with family, friends and neighbors. She worked at D&L in Vernon for many years as well as the Christmas Tree Shop in Manchester. She enjoyed all of her coworkers and regular customers. She lived life on her own terms and when she was diagnosed with cancer, she didn't suffer for long. Her children were all able to spend time with her before her passing and are thankful that she is finally reunited with her late husband after 50 years and her late son, who has been gone for seven years.

Services will be at Saint Bridget's Church in Manchester, Saturday, Jan. 20, at 11 a.m.

Love you

Just hearing or seeing your mother's name brings back many a fond memory of the both of your parents, particularly, from the 50's when almost all of the holidays were an occasion for a Genovesi get together!

Here's wishing you well and hoping that your families are filled with lasting memories of the both of your parents.

I'm delighted that my sister was able to join you in the celebration of Josie's life.

Love, Carol Bielefeld and Ken Schliphack
