DeNIGRO - GIFFUNE, Mary Josephine
Mary Josephine Giffune was released from the cruel grip of Alzheimer's disease
on May 6, 2010, and died peacefully at Sedgewood Commons in Falmouth, Maine.
Born in Utica, NY on Aug. 6, 1914, the eldest of five children of Anthony and
Mary (Stoio) DeNigro, Josephine lived a full life. She graduated from the Utica
School of Commerce, circa 1930. As a young wife and mother, she moved to
Elmira, NY with her husband, Joseph W. Giffune in 1945. She was predeceased by
her beloved husband in March, 2000. They made their home in Elmira for more
than 55 years, where they raised three sons. They both worked for Sears and
Roebuck until retirement. Both played active roles in their community and they
were a familiar sight to many as they took their daily two mile walk around
West Elmira. Jo was an active member of the West Elmira Fire Department Women's
Auxiliary and St. Joseph's Hospital Auxiliary, receiving recognition and awards
for more than one thousand hours of service. She was a communicant of Our Lady
of Lourdes Catholic Church, where she also gave many hours of selfless service.
Josephine was an inspiration to many as she tirelessly cared for her in-laws in
their declining years, as well as her own mother, and then her husband, for
four years in their home as he declined, and for another year and a half at St.
Joseph's Skilled Nursing Unit, where she visited him every day, feeding and
caring for him in his final days. Jo loved to cook and bake, and made anyone
who stopped in at her home feel welcome and loved. When her sons were in high
school, her kitchen table was a meeting place for their friends, who remember
her for her kindness and wonderful meals. Later, she loved having her sons
families visit, and her grandchildren carry warm memories of sitting around her
table absorbing the love and nurturing that "Grandma and Grandpa"
provided. Besides her beloved husband of 64 years, Josephine was predeceased by
her brothers, Anthony and Joseph, and a sister, Mary Margaret and is survived
by a sister, Mary Genevieve Cardone of Syracuse, NY. She leaves three sons,
James M. and his wife Mary Ellen (O'Keeffe), Joseph W. and his wife Kathleen
(Grasso), Paul A. and his wife, Eva (Lupa); seven grandchildren and fourteen
great-grandchildren. Josephine's family is deeply appreciative for all the many
acts of kindness and support from those in the Elmira area during her declining
years, before she moved to Maine to be with family. To name just a few - The
Woodbrook Assisted Living Facility, Sister Marie Michael, King and Teresa
Fitzpatrick, Sylvia "Suzy" Rossplock, Connie Nolan, and Florette
Hermon and in Maine the excellent care at Sedgewood Commons. Mom's circle of
friends was large, we thank all who made up the tapestry of her life. Funeral
arrangements are with the Olthof Funeral Home, Inc., 1050 Pennsylvania Ave.,
Elmira Southport, NY. Visitation will be on Wed. May 12, from 4:00 to7:00 PM. A

can never fully heal again. I do believe we'll all be together again one day -
