March 16, 1951 – January 9, 2021
Today we are here, on Friday January 15, 2021, to honour and come together in the celebration of the life of Maria (Josephine) Maccarone.
Sadly, on Saturday January 9, 2021, Josephine passed away at her home with her son and grandson by her side.
She was a loving mother to her daughter Melissa Martin, and son Leonard Martin.
She was a dedicated and loving grandmother to her 4 grandchildren; Chayla, Sayvia, Vincenzo, and Angelo.
A sister to Tom and Mary Maccarone and an aunt to Cassandra and Dylan.
Josephine was a spark on the world that everyone will remember. Her feistiness,
love, dedication and passion will never be forgotten.
Joie’s love for writing, dogs, music and the ocean is how she will always be remembered.
Never forgotten and always loved!

My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Lenny and Melissa, and cousins Tom and Mary and all of Joey's grandchildren, nieces and nephews during this very difficult time.
I was so deeply "touched" by all your speeches, and the beautiful selection of music brought back many fond memories. I was a little girl and she was a teenager. I remember her infectious laugh and smile and genuine love and affection. Hanging out in the basement on Rolyat and listening to that same music while our parents hung out upstairs, and how she would hold my hand tightly as we crossed the street to the convenience store to buy me candy.
May all your memories bring you joy, peace and comfort and keep her close to your hearts.
RIP dear cousin.
Love, Josie Feliciani (nee Tommasone) and family.

Joie walked through life to the beat of her own drum! Not everyone else's ...
There is a lot to be admired in people who can do that.
I offer my deepest sympathy to her immediate family as well as to our extended family.
May she be at peace.

I have so many fond memories of Joie. Especially of when we were growing up. We literally lived around the corner from one another and spent time together daily. She was much more than one of my older cousins. She was like a big sister to me. Rest in peace, Joie!

Dear Lenny and Melissa, Vincenzo, Angelo, Chayla and Sayvia,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Joie for her fun-loving, lively spirit...no wonder her name evoked "joie de vivre!" May she rest in glory and may her memory always be a blessing.

One day Joie and I were talking on the phone for a couple of hours. After we rang off, she rang me straight back. Zorro had raided the fridge and taken out a pizza. He would have got away with it, but for one thing... He left the garlic dip under the table. I'm still laughing, over a decade later.

I knew her late in her life but even then she was feisty and had a sense of humour ..I once made the mistake of calling her "Mary" and she promptly corrected me that her name was "Josephine" ..it was a moment !
Sad to see her go but she has found peace with lots of music, art and poetry .

As a child I fondly remember how much fun my sisters and I had with you, particularly while listening with you to the great music of the Beatles and other colossals on the record player in the basement at the Rolyat house; and when you played with us and let us jump off the bed mattress while you taught us how to do perfect front shoulder rolls. 🤣
As an Adult I always treasured how kind, loving, caring and sharing you were each time we saw one another. You will be fondly remembered forever my dear cousin “ Joffeffine”. RIP.
Deepest condolences to cousins Tom and Mary, Melissa and Lenny and to all the grandchildren nieces and nephews. Love, cousins Tony, and Meredith and William too.
