GROSSUTTI, Olga (nee Castellano)
July 16, 1923 - November 6, 2020
In her 98th year, Olga Grossutti passed away peacefully at the United Mennonite Home in Vineland. Loving Wife of the late Costantino “Cookie”, loving Mother of Silvia (Mario) Passalent and Marcello (Maryann) Grossutti, loved Nonni to Mark (Ondrea Crockett) Passalent, Paul (Laura) Passalent, Michael (Tamara) Grossutti, Daniel (Mary) Grossutti, Joseph (Emily Rooks) Grossutti and Super Nonni to Matteo, Noah, Beatrice, Isaac and Evan. Survived by her sister Anna Maria (the late Lucio) DeRose. Fondly remembered by her nieces, nephews and extended family members.
Olga was a longtime parishioner of St. Mary of the Assumption Church. She was a devout believer and took great comfort in her faith. Olga will be remembered for her love of family, endless energy, determination, kindness and generosity. Olga was a member of the Catholic Women’s League, Fogolar Furlan, Niagara and Club Roma. She was an dedicated volunteer at the Chez Marie Refugee Assistance Center for many years and had been recognized for her other volunteer work in the community on multiple occasions. Born in Friuli, Italy Olga was very proud of her Furlan Heritage. She became known as the “Master Polenta Cook” at the Annual Furlan Picnics. On her 90th birthday she was presented with a “Certificate of Appreciation” from the Fogolar Furlan. Whether you were family or friend, if there was only one thing you could say about Olga, is that she would always be there for you.
