Francesca Cimo Morte Taullo, passed away peacefully on February 7, 2025, to join her beloved husband Giuseppe Taullo, her daughter Maria Mendola, and her brothers and sisters in heaven.
Born on October 7, 1917, in Alia, Provincia Palermo, Italy, Francesca was the oldest of eight children. At a young age, she became the cornerstone of her family, raising her siblings after the untimely passing of her parents Maria Grazie DiMartino. And Antonio Cimo. Francesca’s siblings included Malia Cimo, Giuseppina, Sassi, Elvira Cimo, Nina, Cimo, Filippo Cimo, Attillio Cimo, and Gino Cimo.
She married Giuseppe Taullo on October 28, 1938. In 1964, Francesca emigrated to the United States. She was the proud mother of Tina Campieri, married to the late Giuseppie Campieri, and the late Maria Mendola, married to the late Bartollo Mendola
Francesca was a devoted grandmother to Rosa Marie Versey, married to Marlan Versey, Calogero Campieri, Francesca Willenberg, married to Paul Willenberg, Giuseppe Mendola, and Alessandro Mendola. She was also a cherished great-grandmother to Jessica Ambrose, James Ambrose, Jonathan Ambrose, Anthony Willenberg, Joseph Willenberg, Giancarlo Campieri, and Alice Mendola.
Francesca’s family was the heart of her life. She found great joy in spending time with her loved ones, especially her great-grandchildren, who brought her immense pride and happiness. She cherished visits from friends and family, and her home was always filled with warmth and love.
Francesca had a zest for life. She loved shopping, particularly when it came to picking out clothes and shoes, and always insisted on treating herself. After a long day of shopping, Francesca enjoyed dining out with her daughter and granddaughter, often starting with desserts first, a beloved family tradition. She also had a deep appreciation for nature, finding peace in planting flowers and watching them grow.
Her faith was an anchor throughout her life. Every night, she prayed to all the saints, a practice that reflected her deep spiritual devotion. Francesca will be deeply missed by all who knew her, and her legacy of love, faith, and family will forever remain in the hearts of her loved ones.
