Josephine Giliberti Obituary

In Loving Memory of Josephine Giliberti
April 26, 1948 – June 22, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved sister, Josephine Giliberti, who departed this life peacefully and surrounded by love on June 22, 2025, at the age of 77.

Josephine was a beacon of strength, compassion, and quiet grace. Her gentle spirit and warm heart touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Whether offering a comforting word, a helping hand, or simply listening with understanding and kindness, Josephine had a remarkable ability to make others feel truly seen, heard, and loved.

Born on April 26, 1948, in Rosolini, Sicily, Josephine was the cherished daughter of the late Costantino and Vincenza Lanza. From an early age, she embodied the values that would guide her life—faith, family, and selfless devotion. She was the heart of our family, always reminding us of the importance of unity, love, and tradition.

Josephine found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She was passionate about cooking, baking, gardening, and shopping, and she gave freely of her time and energy to the church and to those in need. She lived each day with purpose, generosity, and unwavering faith.

Though our hearts are heavy with grief, we are comforted by the enduring legacy Josephine leaves behind—one of kindness, resilience, and unconditional love. Her memory will live on in the lives she touched and the values she instilled in us all.

Josephine was the devoted wife of Arcangelo Giliberti, and a loving stepmother to Anthony Giliberti and Maryrose Giliberti, and Jerry  Giliberti and Anna Giliberti. She was a proud and adoring grandmother to Anthony, Dina, Leana, and Matteo.

She was also the beloved sister of Enrico Lanza and Joanne Taranto, and also late Salvatore Lanza. Josephine is survived by their spouses, her many nieces and nephews, and a wide circle of friends and extended family who will forever cherish her memory.
