Josephine (Joie) Marie Listi, 88, was called home to our Heavenly Father Tuesday, the 22nd of January, 2019. A lifelong resident of Houston, Joie was born on the 3rd of May, 1930, the third of four girls always committed to family. She married the love of her life, Samuel Joseph Listi, in Houston on the 16th of October, 1949. Joie was devoted in her faith, as evidenced by her worn bible, active in an Italian club and several bible study groups. She was an amazing cook and will be remembered for hosting many celebrations and family Sunday lunches with her homemade suga, meatballs, lasagna and stuffed shells. She loved her family and enjoyed spoiling her grandchildren.
Joie/Mom/MawMaw will be missed tremendously. During her final days she was surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We will miss her dearly, until we meet again.
Joie is survived by her four children: Anthony, John (wife Kolynn), Jane (husband Jeffrey) and Sam Jr. (wife Donna), 10 grandchildren: Michelle, Dana, Melissa, Steven, Chris, Frank, Dorothy, Chase, Matthew and Maggie, and 15 great-grandchildren, her sister Camille Boyker and sister-in-law Rosemary Listi.
