Obituary

Josephine Facchini DeCandia 84, of Port Orange, Fl. formerly of Boca Raton, Fl and New Jersey, passed away on Saturday, January 6, 2024.

Josephine “Jo” was born in Hoboken, New Jersey to the late Joseph and
Emelia Facchini.

“Jo” was married for 58 years to her beloved Michael and survived by their 3 children. Their oldest son Gennaro DeCandia; daughter Roseann Flowers, her husband Tom, and their 2 children, Thomas and Melissa; youngest son Joseph DeCandia, his wife Trena, and their 2 sons, William and Michael; her sister, Lucy Cimillo and her husband, Tony; her brother-in-law Thomas DeCandia, plus many nieces, nephews, and other loving family members and friends.

In loving memory, her late sister, Lucretia Laird (Harrison Laird), and in-law siblings, Theresa DeCandia, Angela Abbattista and Sergio DeCandia.

As a young girl, (Jo) sang at the Small Carney Concert Hall in New York City, and loved being on stage in school musicals. She loved her family, & friends with her whole heart and soul. Over the years, Jo & Mike enjoyed many moments picnicking at the beach to watch a sunrise, traveling on cruise ships, spending time with their Grandchildren, and loving their dogs. She loved to sing, dance, work on arts and crafts projects, and listening to music. Her Mia was the love of her life after her Mike was no longer with her. Jo was giving and kind and always made everyone feel welcomed.

Family is planning a Mass blessing of her ashes in the next few weeks. A spreading of her ashes (together with her husband, Michael), and a celebration of life will be discussed at a later date and time.

In lieu of flowers, the family feels money would be more welcomed as donations made to The Cancer Society or any other organization of choice.

    My very first memory at age 4 of any of my cousins was of Josephine. It was 1960 and Jo and Mike were on their Honeymoon visiting us and staying in my parents bedroom. Apparently I use to wake up in the night crying and go to my Mommy's bed. Boy was I startled to find someone else there!! Jo gently took me in her arms and kindly comforted her scared little cousin and laid me down next to her until I fell asleep! What a sweetheart! As adults Jo and I talked about this and laughed as its one of my favorite stories. Also grateful my timing didn't interrupt the honeymoon couple, lol!!
    I love you Josephine and will miss you dearly. Your thoughtfulness, kindness and loving heart will never be forgotten. Go cuddle with Mike now for all eternity.

    My dear mom, You are missed so deeply and loved beyond words. You have always been the most loving, encouraging and supportive person in my life. Because of the love you and Dad have shown each other and all of our family, I have learned what true love means and how to share it with others.
    Our wish is that you are resting in peace and dancing in Daddy’s arms again.
    You will be forever in our hearts.
