Vivian Ruth Ingrassia Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Vivian Ingrassia passed into the presence of Jesus on Sunday morning at 9:35 AM. She was 88 years old. We had the privilege of caring for her, carrying her, and tucking her into bed each night. All the while God taught us lessons of His love that we could not have learned any other way. The more broken her body became, the more vibrant were the brush strokes of God’s power made perfect in her weakness. It seemed that all she had to “do” in God’s kingdom was to show up for service every single day with a broken spirit and contrite heart. There is no dignity in dying—just humility. But humility and suffering become the potting soil in which God grows His lilies. Mom showed up for God’s service every day. God did the rest, and through it all, we learned of our Father’s overpowering love. None of us, family and friends, and all who knew her will be the same. She impacted many lives in her love. Vivian is survived by her four children; Susan Olivo (James), David Ingrassia (Gina), Steven Ingrassia (Jasmine), Lisa Eskenazi (Daniel) and ten grandchildren; Michael Ingrassia, Nicholas & Matthew Olivo, Sophie & Patricia Eskenazi, Amanda, Caroline (Craig Dunaway), Joseph Ingrassia (Meredith), Angelina Ingrassia, David J. Ingrassia and one great-grandson; Ethan Dunaway. Vivian was preceded in death by her beloved husband Frank Salvatore Ingrassia who passed away in July of 2014. A Memorial Service is being planned for the future by the Ingrassia Family.
