Florence Del Genio Obituary

Florence Del Genio (nee Mustachio) passed away on October 21, 2019, one month shy of her 100th birthday. She was born on November 25, 1919. Florence was the loving wife of the late Eugene; loving mother of Michele; dear sister of Phyllis Obradovic and Joseph Mustachio; cherished aunt of many nieces and nephews and a treasured friend.

For many years Florence worked as an administrative assistant in Vocational Counseling at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. She enjoyed talking to the patients and helped make them feel comfortable in the most difficult circumstances.

Michelle, I read of your mother's passing in Sunday's paper and the memory of your Mom's lovely face immediately came to my mind. I remember when we were very young, living in my great grandmother's apartment building, going to Sunday dinner at your house. There was course after course with pasta, then meat etc. all with orange soda pop. What I later came to know was a typical Italian feast. What a sweet memory! I saw your Mom as an adult a few times, though I don't remember exactly where, and she was always the same, beautiful, warm, and with an infectious smile. My heartfelt condolences to you. May she rest in peace. Kathy (Golden) Tucker
