It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Josephine Mary Pirri, devoted wife of Anthony (deceased 2015) of 62 years; loving mother to her four children, Margaret (Tom), Jo Ann (Clay), Vito, and Gus (Kim); the beloved grandmother of eight grandchildren, Christina (Mike), Joanna (Brett), Julia (Antony), Anya (Kevin, deceased), Andrea (Dragan), Trevor (Brittany), Anthony and Matthew. She was also a cherished great-grandmother to ten great-grandchildren, Kaleb, Elliott, Owen, Brayden, Mia, Jack, Theodore, Jonathan, Cody (deceased) and Finn. Survived by her sister Augustine, predeceased by her sister Maryanne and brother Joseph.

Josephine’s genuine compassion and positivity radiated to all those around her, making it easy to enjoy life when in her company. She had a passion for cooking that she lovingly shared with others. Whether she was hosting one of many family dinners, teaching her grandchildren how to cook, baking sweet treats for her great grandchildren, or cooking up batches of her famous sauce and meatballs for a special Monsignor, her kitchen was always open – she’d say, “all you have to do is ask.” As a snowbird, she treasured the winters spent in Florida with her beloved late husband Anthony. Her summers were spent as an avid Toronto Blue Jays fan, delighting in seeing them live whenever possible. Josephine left a lasting, loving imprint on the lives of everyone she met. She will be missed by many and is now reunited with her husband.
