Christina Rose Macioce

Macioce (Napolitano) Christina Rose Macioce, died peacefully with family surrounding her on Monday, November 7, 2016, at Mt. Carmel East Hospital, Columbus, Ohio. She was 91 years young. Christina "Chris" was born on January 8, 1925, to Barbara and Angelo Napolitano. She graduated from St. Mary's High School in 1943 and married her high school sweetheart, Mario, on June 19, 1946. They made their home in Columbus, Ohio. Chris was a proud member of the Guild Athletic Club Ladies Auxiliary (GALA) and the Santa Maria Lodge. Chris believed in the power of family and nothing made her happier than being able to share her famous pot of sauce and meatballs (which were always on the stove just in case someone happened to drop by.) She loved her coffee and a good bowl of butter pecan ice cream, was strong in her faith and still ate "feesh" on Fridays. Chris is preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Angelo and Leo and her husband Mario, who died on October 20, 2016. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Mario and Cindi; granddaughters, Maria and Juliana Macioce; sister, Theresa Holtz; special friends, "Weezie" and Joanne; and loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
