Jo and John moved to Maryland in 1961 and purchased a farm in Davidsonville where they lived alongside their children. She was an active member of her neighborhood garden club and the Bowie Senior Chorale. She and John enjoyed being a part of the Sons of Italy, hosting annual pig roasts and traditional Italian holidays for friends, family, and neighbors. She loved country music and was a determined knitter of baby hats for Anne Arundel Medical Center. Throughout her life, Jo valued her family and her strong faith as a parishioner at Holy Family Catholic Church in Davidsonville.
She is survived by her six children, Donna (Dave), Karen (John), Lori (Wes), Maria (Tom), Frank (Angee), Lucretia (Mike); 15 grandchildren; four great grandchildren; sister, Carol Gizzi of Fredericksburg, VA. Her brother Santo (Jean) Varbero preceded her in death. Josephine donated her body to Georgetown University School of Medicine. In a years time, her ashes will be returned and buried alongside her husband at Lakemont Memorial Gardens.
In lieu of flowers, feel free to send donations to St. Judes Hospital. Due to the Covid Virus, a celebration of her life will be determined at a later date.
