Josephine Grippaldi

November 6, 1940 — September 20, 2013

Josephine Jo Grippaldi, 72, of Las Vegas, passed away on September 20, 2013. Jo was born November 6, 1940, in Newark, N.J., and resided in Las Vegas for 34 years. Jo retired from Ballys Hotel Casino as an Inventory Control Clerk and spent more than 40 years as a beautician, which was her passion.

Jo battled lung cancer in 2008 and beat the odds. She said, There is no way cancer is going to beat me. I have a granddaughter who needs me. She loved her granddaughter, Claire, more than anything in the world. She enjoyed regularly spending time with her and watching her grow.

Jo was a beloved Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, and friend to many. Jo was a devoted mother who always put her children first. Jo loved spending time with her friends and family, and she was always there if anyone needed her. She also enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles, computer games, and going to the casino to spend time with her best friend of 30 years, Josie Faiella.

Jo is survived by her sons, Phil and Joe daughterinlaw, Evelyn daughter, Suzanne soninlaw, Matt granddaughter, Claire sister, Edith Tobia of N.J. aunt and uncle, Lenny and Marie Volante of N.J. and many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. Jo touched the hearts of many and will be missed by all.
