Many people will be so very sad to hear the news that Josie Forte passed away this morning in Ireland, at the age of 99.
The following comes from one of her grandchildren, Dino Caira:
“Josie Forte (Giuseppina) born 1923 Belfast, second child to Domenico Delicato & Francesca Matassa, married Luigi Forte in Waterford 1944. Lived most of her married life in Belfast and then Ennis Co. Clare before returning to Mortale with Luigi. They had many happy years together until Luigi died, when Josie returned to Ireland with her children, Joseph, Lena and Frances. She died peacefully in her sleep at 3am this morning in Bray Co. Wicklow and leaves 8 Grandchildren and 11 Great Grandchildren.”
Our sincere condolences go to Joseph, Lena, Frances and all their families, as well as to all of Josie’s many nieces, nephews and extended family. She was a wonderful, kind and warm-hearted lady, who will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to have known her.
