In memory of

Giuseppina (Josie) Ariganello

May 14, 1964 -  August 3, 2019

With crushed hearts, we all share the unbearable pain of our sweet Josie’s untimely death.

Josie was born on May 14, 1964 and passed away on August 3, 2019. Josie’s father also passed away on August 3, 46 years ago. Predeceased by her parents, Bruna and Giuseppe. Josie is survived by cousins in both Italy and Toronto, and an awesome group of friends too many to mention....confused and missing Josie, are the loves of her life, her precious dogs Duke and Niko.

Josie suffered greatly during a very recent diagnosis of an unrelenting cancer. Josie loved to read, work out, spend time at her trailer, and spoil her dogs, travel, especially to the Dominican, Jamaica, Italy and anywhere else with sunshine and good company. Josie’s love of, and loyalty to, her friends, family (and dogs) could not easily be matched.

Jos is now at peace, pain free, and finally reunited with her loving parents.
Friends and family will be received at PINE HILLS CEMETERY & FUNERAL CENTRE, 625 Birchmount Rd., Scarborough (north of St. Clair Ave. E., 416-267-8229), on Wednesday, August 14, 2019 from 2-4 and 6-9 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held on Thursday, August 15, 2019 at 11 a.m., at St Lawrence Martyr Church (2210 Lawrence Ave. E., Scarborough). Interment & Reception to follow at Pine Hills Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Toronto Humane Society would be greatly appreciated.

Josie, you were a brilliant gem. Charismatic, loving, nurturing, vibrant and always putting everyone else’s needs before your own. You were the life of the party and anyone who met you instantly adored you. You are my kids Aunt Josie, and we all feel the void more than you could ever imagine. I love you so much hon. Rest In Peace my beautiful friend xoxox

Wish we were closer, I was only 3 when Uncle Joe passed away and have no recollection. Amazing, 48 years to the day, rest in peace.
