Obituary for Rosa Agostino (Spagnolo)

It is with profound sorrow that we mourn the passing of our beloved wife, mother and grandmother Rosa Agostino, on June 7, 2020 at the age of 81. Beloved wife of 61 years to Domenico and cherished mother to Vince (Rose Jardine), Daniela (Bruno Cugini) and Patrizia (Thomas Lygdas). Proud Nonna to Alexander (Laura), Jonathan (fiancé Stephanie), Sophia and Julia. She will always be remembered and treasured by her brothers, Filippo Spagnolo (Fiorenza) and Nicodemo Spagnolo (Angelina, predeceased) and all her nieces, nephews, their families and by all those who’s lives she’s touched. She nourished all those around her with love, kindness and laughter.
