Irene Theresa Cagnina

Irene Theresa Cagnina, 87, of Orlando, Florida passed away on September 15, 2019, the day before her birthday. She was born on September 16, 1931 in Tampa, Florida to the late Frank and Juana (Perez) Rosado.

During her life, Irene worked as a receptionist for various industries, including Miracle Ear; and, as a sales woman in a flower shop – highlighting her passion for gardening. She tended her own garden with delight and her impeccable yard brought joy to all. Irene’s family and friends knew her as a “firecracker” full of tenacity. She loved justice, had a great sense of humor and was dedicated to her family. She was a member of the Optimist Club, Beta Sigma Phi, and the Council of Catholic Women; and, she selflessly volunteered her time in retirement by delivering “Meals on Wheels”.

Irene was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Frank Cagnina, whom she met in high school. She is survived by her children, Nancy Semple (David) and Patty Dawkins (Tim); and, her devoted grandchildren, Amanda Semple, Sam Dawkins, and Hunter Dawkins.

The Cagnina Family invites you to her Memorial Mass at 11am on Monday, September 23, 2019 at Blessed Trinity Catholic Church, 4545 Anderson Road, Orlando, FL 32812.
