Josephine Guardino, loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, passed peacefully at almost 93 years of age. She is reunited with her husband Anthony, the love of her entire life - a life well lived.
Her voracious curiosity drove her to pursue many and varied interests including: cooking, gardening, stained glass, painting, sculpting, music, American Indian culture, Egyptian history, and her focused drive enabled her to achieve success in all of them. She graduated college magna cum laude at the age of 44 years old. At the age of 68, she went on an archaeological dig in Arizona that culminated her deep interest in archaeology and geology. She grew award-winning orchids and devised award-winning recipes. Traveling was another passion and it included visits to Italy, Sicily, Greece, France, Spain, England, Germany, Egypt and throughout the United States with a culmination tour of the Grand Canyon.
Most of all, she loved and was proud of her family, including her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and their spouses.
We will all miss her until we meet again.
A visitation for Josephine will be held Thursday, May 16, 2024 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Harmon Funeral Home, 571 Forest Ave, Staten Island, NY 10310.
