Josephine Pintozzi Obituary

I have such found memories of visiting Josephine,Mary, Lucy, "anto" and their parents on Loomis St. I miss them all. They are in my thoughts and prayers.

Into a post war Europe, encouraged by her sisters, a young woman of Italian heritage, leaves all her family and friends,and takes a job with the State Department. This was not the norm for a women in the 1940's and 50's to do. As a child, I sadly watched for go.In recent conversations with Jo, she told me she didn't know anyone when she arrived at her station in Europe. I have always admired her courage. My family is blessed with strong women doing things ahead of their times.We grew up knowing her sisters who were women also engaging in careers not normally done by women.I miss those holiday times with the "girls on Loomis Street"

I lost track of Jo, but was fortunate that I and my children were able to get to know her again. She was a elegant lady. When I would speak of our travels to Europe, she said it made her feel young again. I would say to her"then, let's go". Her youthful wonderlust was still there. We will miss her, and stories of her far away places.

Jo was a very close friend of my mother's. She was a part of "The Club" and was at our house many times. We have such great pictures of the "girls". My dad (Emerson) loved to tease Jo. My mother is Arline McCarron DeMano.

Such a sweet lady...family friend,especially to my Grandmother and her sister- who claim to have "found you" in Italy!
As a child, I remember it was an extra-special holiday when you and "the sisters" arrived. Thank you for giving me your Italian plates... you are thought of at every special dinner. Forever we will remember your charming stories of Italy,your elegance and generosity.
Peace be with You, Michael and Tammy (Epifanio) LeBeau

With all my sympathy, My god bless you.

Josephine will be missed by our family from Don and Joy Epifanio and Inez McLenahan sister of Jill Yaskin who served in France with Jo. Deepest Sympathy Please contact us.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I will miss Jo very much, we were cousins & the best of friends. I grew up living in their home sometimes more than my own. My memories of all the wonderful times we had will remain with me always.

To the family of Josephine Pintozzi.
Jo was an elegant lady with a generous & kind heart. Hope she is now in a happy place with one of her best friends, Carmella Tufano.

I have known Josephine all of my life, she was my mothers cousin as well as best friend. It was a pleasure to know all the girls as they were wonderful people.
God speed until we meet again!

Josephine will be missed as she was part of my family from the time I was born. She & My Mother were not only cousins but best friends. We were very close to the whole family and blessed for it.
God Speed until we meet again!
