Giovanna Viscariello, age 99, passed away peacefully on June 30, 2026, at her home in Friendswood, Texas, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on June 2, 1927, in Airola, Italy. Giovanna was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 72 years, Frank Viscariello, and her precious daughter, Rosina. She is survived by her two sons, Antonio and Angelo; eight grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; and numerous extended family members and dear friends.

After immigrating to America with her family, Giovanna and Frank settled in Raritan, New Jersey, where they raised their family. Following their retirement, they moved to Texas to be closer to their children and grandchildren. They also cherished spending months at a time in their second home in Italy, traveling back and forth to the country she always held close to her heart.

Giovanna found her greatest joy in caring for her family. She loved cooking for those she loved, tending her garden, spending time at the ranch, and vacationing with her children and grandchildren. She was a familiar and beloved presence at the family restaurant, where she could often be found visiting with customers gathered around the “Family Table.”

Giovanna was the true matriarch of our family. She led by example, modeling an extraordinary work ethic, unwavering love for her family, deep respect for others, and enduring kindness. She had a warm smile that made everyone feel welcome, and her legacy will live on through the generations she inspired. She will be deeply missed by her family and by all who were fortunate enough to know and love her.
