Josephine Rita
Moderalli
December 30, 1923 – February 8, 2015
Youngstown - There will be a Memorial Mass of Christian Burial held on Saturday, February 14, 2015 at 10:00 am at St. Luke Church, 5235 South Ave., Boardman with Father Joseph Fata officiating, for Josephine Rita Moderalli, 91, of Youngstown, who peacefully passed away early Sunday morning, February 8, 2015 with her loving family by her side. Josephine will always be remembered and loved by her family and friends for her kind heart, fun loving personality and for how she would always give everyone 100 percent in all that she did. She was born December 30, 1923 in Youngstown, the daughter of Martin and Tillie (Zaluda) Wrobleski and was a lifelong area resident. Josephine attended The Rayen School and was a member of St. Luke Church. She was most proud of being a homemaker and a mother, but felt her need to help out during the war, so she went to work making parachutes. Josephine enjoyed gardening and flowers but she especially loved spending time with her grandchildren. She was always happiest when in the kitchen cooking for her family, her wonderful stuffed cabbage, and famous Jellos, which will be sorely missed. Her husband Dominic "Dram" Moderalli whom she married March 3, 1943 died October 30, 1984. Josephine leaves behind to cherish her memories her two daughters JoAnn (John) Carlson of Boardman and Diana Daughtery of Youngstown, five grandchildren Timothy Carlson, Tracey Berarducci, Robert (Emma) Carlson, Shannon (Michael) Glover and Shaun (Maria) Moderalli, and seven great grandchildren Jade, Sophia, Ryder, Bodie, Gianna, Isabella and Dominic along with her beloved pet cat Honey. Besides her parents and husband, Josephine was preceded in death by a son-in-law Herbert Daughtery, an infant great grandson Gino, two brothers Martin and Raymond Wrobleski and two sisters Mary and Jenny Wrobleski. Friends may call on Saturday, February 14, 2015 from 9:00 am until 9:55 am at St. Luke Church, 5235 South Ave., Boardman. Arrangements have been entrusted to the professional care of the Rossi & Santucci Funeral Home, 4700 Market St., Boardman. Burial will take place at Calvary Cemetery, Youngstown.
