Naples, Florida – A prayer service will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2015 at 9:30 A.M. at the Clemente Funeral Home, and a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 A.M. at Christ Our Savior Parish at St. Nicholas Church, both in Struthers, for Josephine Fratino, who passed away on Wednesday, July 8, 2015 at The Carlisle Senior Living Center, Naples, Florida. A memorial service was held for her at The Carlisle on Friday, July 10. Josephine was a lifelong member of both Christ Our Savior Parish (formerly St. Nicholas Parish) and St. Williams Parish in Naples. At the time of her death, Josephine was surrounded by her loving and devoted family. Affectionately known by all who loved her as "Jo", Josephine was born on October 22, 1928, in Youngstown, Ohio, the daughter of Gino and Desolina Pannunzio. She attended East High School and met her husband, Louis Fratino, when she was 14 years old at a high school football game. The couple was married on September 15, 1945 at Immaculate Heart Parish in Youngstown. They celebrated 54 years together until Louis passed away in 1999. Josephine spent her life as a homemaker on Medford Avenue in Brownlee Woods. Her memory will be forever cherished by her daughters Janet (Michael) Vogel of Ann Arbor, MI, and Naples, FL, and Karen (Paul) Pezzenti of Cincinnati, OH; her three granddaughters Juliet (Adolfo) Laurenti of Chicago, IL, Jessica (Evan) Petrus of Boston, MA, and Natalie (Justin) Shawver of Cincinnati, OH; and her great-grandson, Amedeo Laurenti of Chicago, IL. Josephine is also survived by loving nieces, nephews and in-laws Delight Pannunzio of Youngstown, Angie Mihalko of Endicott, NY, Rose Vinson of Colorado Springs, CO, Rosemarie Fratino of Charleston, WV, and Paola and Raymond Fratino of Monterey Park, CA, as well as many devoted friends. She was preceded in death by her siblings Nick Pannunzio and Teresa Grantz. Josephine's loving personality, gentle spirit and thoughtfulness of others will always be remembered, as well as her notorious lemon meringue pie, Italian pizzelles and delicious cooking and baking. Josephine's family wishes to thank the entire staff at both The Carlisle Senior Living Center and the Avow Hospice of Naples, FL for their wonderful care and love. Though our hearts may break to not have her with us, we know she is humming the tune of her favorite song, "Smile," to remind us that "when there are clouds in the sky you'll get by if you just smile." Calling hours will be on Friday, July 17 from 5:00 – 8:00 P.M. at Clemente Funeral Home, Struthers, Ohio.
