    Josephine "Jo" T. La Porta

    August 31, 1927 - April 26, 2022

    Josephine T. La Porta, 94, of Strongsville, OH passed away peacefully, surrounded with the love and prayers of her family, on April 26, 2022. Jo was the beloved wife of 67 years to Steven G. La Porta Sr. until his passing in March, 2019. She was the daughter of the late Antonio Tramontano and Louise (Quadagno) Tramontano and was born and raised in Harrison, NY. Jo was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother; she will be sorely missed. After graduating Harrison High School, Jo worked at the advertising agency BBD&O until marriage and a growing family became her full-time job. She not only ran a large household with military precision, she created a loving environment, ensuring the passing on of many family traditions (and recipes). Later in life Jo and Steve enjoyed numerous travel adventures worldwide, on land and sea. Jo was preceded in death by her brother Harry Tramontano. She is survived by a sister Philomena (Fanny) DiBiccari; her seven children: Janice Caselli (Fred), Diane Campo (Roberto), Steven G. La Porta Jr. (Leslie), Joanne Sullivan (Bill), Elise Mahovlich, Ann-Marie La Porta (Fiance' Bob Jones) and Karen Kellett; eighteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Gregory the Great Church, Harrison NY, on Saturday, April 30, 2022 at 11 am. Burial will follow at St Mary’s Cemetery in Rye Brook, NY. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.coxeandgraziano.com.
