Obituary of Josephine Kompanijec

Josephine Kompanijec

November 6, 2022 at age 88, passed away peacefully. She is predeceased by her parents Leonardo and Rose Pannolino, brother Pompeo and sister Rosina. She is survived by her son John(Alyson) Kompanijec, daughter Elizabeth(Charles) Facchini, grandchildren Christina, Victoria and Katie Kompanijec, and Daniel Facchini, her sisters Angelina Goduto and Antonietta Lucchese, many nieces and nephews, so many wonderful friends and her beloved Emma.

Giusephina was born in April 1934 in Italy. At the age of 18 she moved with her family to Canada where she resided until marrying and moving to Rochester. It is here that she raised her children John (Alyson) and Elizabeth (Charles), who have always been her greatest joy and first priority. Her family’s well-being and happiness were the source of her greatest happiness. Giusephina also leaves behind 4 grandchildren, Christina, Victoria, Katie, and Daniel. She adored them, was so very proud of each of them, and took immense pleasure in watching them grow. 

Giusephina was a very talented seamstress, cook, and gardener. She loved preparing incredible holiday meals and so many Sunday dinners for her family. She made beautiful clothing straight from her imagination and often made clothing fit perfectly and look amazing. She was equally talented with her vegetable and flower gardens, often losing herself in the joy of puttering all day in them. Her beauty was reflected in her flowers. 

Giusephina was strong in her faith and believed in the power of prayer. We are certain that God has opened his arms to our beautiful and beloved mother and that He is caring for her now.

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put His arms around you
And whispered “Come to me. ”
With tearful eyes we watched you
As you slowly slipped away
And though we loved you dearly
We couldn’t make you stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating
Your tired hands put to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
