Josephine Taranto - November 20, 1951 - February 20, 2024

Departed: 02/20/2024 (Casselberry)

Obituary Preview: Josephine Taranto (Jo, Jo-Jo, Momma Jo) 72 of Casselberry FL (formally NY) passed away peacefully on Tuesday February 20, 2024, at the Advent Health Hospice in Altamonte Springs FL.

Josephine was born to the late Dominick (Zeke) & Amelia (Millie) Delio on November 20, 1951.

Josephine leaves behind her husband Anthony Taranto, her Daughter TinaMarie Cino, her Son Christian (Colleen) and her two beautiful Granddaughters Nicole and Isabella. She also leaves behind her sister Denise Gallo, Her goddaughter Krystal Yakkey (Jay) as well as her cousins, nieces, nephews, great nephews, and friends.

Josephine never missed a good sale, she loved to shop (endlessly) on clothes, jewelry, and purses in particular. She enjoyed spending weekends at the beach whenever she could, having an ice-cold beer, reading a good book, perusing the gossip magazines and loved to binge watch her favorite shows.

We all will miss her never ending love, her smile, her laughter, and crazy (and many times inappropriate) sense of humor. She loved to make us laugh. She was fierce and protective of those she loved. She was a strong woman who taught us how to love, how to live and gave us strength.

She is now a peaceful and feisty angel watching over all of us.

We will always have her in our hearts and on our minds.

We will be having memorial services for Josephine to celebrate her life to be announced at a later date.
