Josephine ("Jo") Eve Buzzelli Gallucci, 89, passed away on Sunday, July 11 at her home in Friendship Village of Dublin Ohio, surrounded by her family and friends. The daughter of Italian immigrants from Castel di Sangro, Italy, she was born March 26, 1932, in Columbus, Ohio. She was a graduate of St. Joseph Academy High School and worked briefly as a telephone operator before she met and married John, her husband of 59 years. Her high school classmate and future sister-in-law, Rita Branco, set Jo (with the nickname "Buzzi") up on a blind date with her brother, John. Jo and John were married on June 14, 1952 and started a family the following year. Jo lovingly raised her children, supporting them through all their academic, musical, artistic and sporting activities. Over the years, she enjoyed singing (she was a long-time member of the St. Andrew's Choir), was an avid card player, skated and roller bladed well into her 60s, participated in a bowling league for many years, and was a wonderful gardener. She was preceded in death by her husband, John Carl Gallucci Jr.; her parents, John and Concetta (Sconciafurno) Buzzelli; sisters and brothers-in-law, Mary (Enio) Bernardo, Levia (Stanley) Crognale, Norma (George) Antonelli and Olga (Bill) Mathias; brother, Geno; and brothers-in-law, Alfred Gallucci and Anthony Branco; and son-in-law, Les Agee. She is survived by her children, John III (Gretchen) Gallucci, Anita (Tom McGregor) Gallucci, Vicky (Ken) Shuller, Joseph (Kristi) Gallucci, and James (Mary Lou) Gallucci; grandchildren, Daniel and Kristin (Jon Lattier) Agee; John (Sarah) Gallucci IV, Maria (Matt Peters) Gallucci, and Neal (Stephanie) Gallucci, Liana McGregor, Michael and Laura Gallucci, Camden and Sophie Gallucci; and great grandchildren, Evan and Keller Gallucci, John Gallucci V and Joshua Gallucci, Matty Peters, and Miles Lattier. She is also survived by her sisters-in-law, Ellen Buzzelli, Rita Branco, and Charlene Gallucci; cousin, Eliana Caradonna; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
