Obituary
Virginia "Ginny" Pishitelli Pence or "Giga" came into this world as a red headed Italian baby. She was raised a devout Catholic and continued to be a church going, child of God. She had a short but rough ride due to a cancer diagnosis found in June. She loved the Ohio State Buckeyes, both football and basketball. She was a Cincinnati Reds fan, a Cleveland Guardians fan, a Cincinnati Bengals fan, a Cleveland Browns fan, and a Cleveland Cavaliers fan. Ginny was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She is survived by her daughter, Lucy (Joe) Jones; son-in-law, Dale Hunter; grandsons, Joseph (Shai) DiCocco and William Deeter; great-grandchildren, Joseph Jones, Tommy Albright, Merida Jones and Kayla DiCocco; step-great-grandchildren, Adam and Mason; adopted granddaughter and friend, Heather Dunlop; and many nieces and nephews which she loved unconditionally. She is preceded in death by her parents, Vincenzo (Jimmy) and Gracie Pishitelli; husband, Al of 54 years; her daughters, Rita Hunter, Anna Pence and Alice Pence; sisters, Annie Coleman, Mary Green, Joanne Grubbs, Antionette Pishitelli; and brother, Vincenzo Jr. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in her name to the cancer foundation or the epilepsy foundation.

I will forever remember her and all she did with me and for me. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the entire family for the loss of this wonderful woman. I loved all the conversations we had and all the truthful insights she provided to me over the years. Despite the distance between us she always told me, 'In case nobody told you they love you today, I do'; I love you too Aunt G!

Mom, you knew you were leaving and asked me if I would miss you. You had no idea at the time how much I would miss you. Everyday seems like a dream and I can't wake up. I will miss you more than imaginable. You were the best mom and I would not have wanted any other. God speed to you up the heavenly ladder.

I miss Aunt Giga. I am glad to have gotten to know her more after Great Aunt Grace passed. Giga was a wonderful person. She loved to get out and have fun. The bingo halls will not be the same now, they all miss her there also. She came to many of our Italian Club functions, and she volunteered every week at our parish fish fry at St. Margaret of Cortona Church, where she will be greatly missed at fish fry time!

My deepest condolences, I grew up in the flats on Mill St., I spent many hours with Jenny and Al, we were great friends. We played cards, watched Maverick, and talked about life. They were wonderful role models and friends. I know they are now together in God's hands. The memories are great ones/
