Jo Ann Gagliano Obituary
Jo Ann graduated from Modesto High School in 1954 and while attending college, she began working for J. Hungerford-Smith as a receptionist, which is now Sciabica's California Olive Oil and Gourmet Foods. Throughout the years, she worked many other jobs, sometimes two at a time that included the YMCA and owning her own thrift store, The Closet Shop, while raising her three children. She loved volunteering in her community and was a part of the Ladies Aid for Retarded Citizens (LARC), Priceless Treasures Thrift Store and belonged to the Red Hat Society, a social organization for women. Because she wasn't ready to retire any time soon, she was the manager for a while, at the Mancini Senior Center, serving lunches, decorating for holidays, playing cards and bingo. She was also a part of the Modesto Senior Citizens Center, again, playing bingo, having raffles and socializing with her friends. She enjoyed going with her friends to Black Oak, Chicken Ranch along with other Casino's around the area.
She is survived by her brother, John Gagliano of Modesto; children, Rosanne Costa of Modesto, Carl Sean Faughn of South Dakota and Tracey (Brian) Buck of Modesto; along with 7 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
She was someone who gave whatever support she could and never gave up fighting the good fight. May she rest in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
A Rosary/Mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. on September 13, 2024 at the St. Stanislaus Catholic Church located at 709 J. Street, Modesto. There will also be a Celebration of Life that will be held the following day, September 14, 2024 from 11:00-1:00 p.m. at the Modesto Senior Citizen's Center located at 211 Bodem Street, Modesto.
