Obituary for Silvio Bosco
Frances Bosco (nee Ferraro), (79) of Kenosha, WI, passed away on Saturday, November 14, 2020. Her devoted husband, Silvio Bosco, (85) of Kenosha, WI, joined her in eternal life on November 22, 2020. Silvio and Frances passed away peacefully surrounded by their loving family.
Frances was born in Castrolibero, Province of Cosenza, Italy on July 12, 1942. Daughter of the late Luigi and Fiorina (La Macchica) Ferraro. Silvio was born in Marano Principato, Province of Cosenza, Italy on April 23, 1935. Son of the late Salvatore and Rosina (Ruffolo) Bosco.
Silvio arrived in the United States on May 16, 1953. Frances arrived in the United States on April 25, 1964. Silvio and Frances met through family friends and were married on June 12, 1965 at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Pompeii. They recently celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary.

They passed on the Italian traditions they were so proud of, while also seizing the opportunities living in America gave them. They welcomed and embraced everyone who walked through their front door. Their happiest moments were spent with family and friends.
