In Loving Memory of Francesca Osso
Francesca, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and faithful servant of God, passed away peacefully at 97, leaving behind a beautiful legacy of faith, family, love, and sacrifice.
Born in Longobardi, Province of Cosenza, Calabria, Italy, she came to America with her husband, Guiseppe (Joe), and their family. They shared 66 years of marriage. Together, through hard work, courage, and faith, they built a life rich in family, tradition, and love. Though he passed 19 years ago, their love and memories remained forever in her heart. She is also preceded in death by her parents Bonaventura and Rosa Pulice.
Francesca was deeply devoted to her Catholic faith. Through every joy and sorrow, she found strength in prayer and lovingly passed that faith onto her family that survives her including sons and daughters-in-law: Ben (Lucille) Osso and Lou (Kathy) Osso; four grandchildren: Lori (Jamie) Connor; Melissa Osso; BJ (Char) Osso; Jodee (Shaun) Arthurs; seven great- grandchildren: AJ (fiancee Olivia) Connor; Luca (Carly) Connor; Peyton Osso; Angelina, Gianna, Nico Osso; and Frankie Arthurs; sister-in- law: Anna Pate.
Her greatest treasure was her family. Her gentle spirit, strength, sacrifice, and unwavering love will live on through the generations she leaves behind.
We thank God for the gift of her 97 years and entrust her now to His loving arms, with great hope that she is reunited with her beloved husband and welcomed into the presence of the God she faithfully loved and served.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
The family would like to thank Valley Hospice and nurses Amanda and Ladonna for the outstanding care that they provided.
Family and friends will be received on Friday, August 21 from 3-6 p.m. at the Mosti Funeral Home, 4435 Sunset Blvd, Steubenville. Funeral mass will be Saturday, August 22 at 10 a.m. at Holy Family Parish, Steubenville. Father Drake McCalister will celebrate. Entombment to follow at Mt Calvary Cemetery.
