Rosina Ippolito Goe

Rosina (Rosie) Anthony Goe, maiden name Ippolito, died peacefully, Saturday June 11, 2016 in Chattanooga, Tennessee at the age of 82.

Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place where she will be socializing, laughing and continuing her good works.

Mrs. Goe is survived by her three children, Charlie Goe, Sammy Goe and Gino Goe, her four siblings, Helen Martin Ippolito, Angela Ippolito Cross, Louisa Ippolito and Andrew Ippolito, two nieces and one nephew; ten grandchildren, one great grandchild and two step-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband, Charles S. Goe, her parents, Maria and Arsenio Ippolito and sister, Catherine Ippolito.

Born in Abingdon, Illinois, Mrs. Goe attended Abingdon High School. Soon after graduating in 1950, she applied and was accepted into Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing in Peoria, Illinois, graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing 

She began her nursing career at Saint Francis Hospital; during that time she met, her future husband, Charles S. Goe’. After their marriage, they resided in Peoria, Illinois where they raised their three sons, instilling in each one strong family values, while encouraging them to pursue their individual goals.

Mrs. Goe was a dedicated nurse; fiercely proud of her profession. Upon graduation, she considered her ‘pinning ceremony’ and nurse’s pledge, to be sacred and unbreakable. Each patient she cared for, touched, administered to, felt that un-wavering dedication to their well-being.     

Always an active member of the Catholic Church, she became an acolyte, assisting in the rites of Holy Communion. Mrs. Goe volunteered at the information desk at Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga. Through the St. Stephens Church Charities, she spent time knitting blankets and collecting clothes for the poor in the Appalachian communities.

She loved traveling; and after her husbands’ death spent time visiting her family in California, Arizona and Tennessee. She especially enjoyed her trips abroad; touring Italy and visiting family and friends there. 

Settling in Chattanooga, near her eldest son, enjoying her retirement years, she welcomed frequent visits from life-long friends. Mrs. Goe’s love of family was evident throughout her life; happiest when surrounded by her loving grandchildren. 

After an automobile accident where she was severely injured, Mrs. Goe resided at Standifer Place in Chattanooga.  In the last nine years, despite the accident, Mrs. Goe carried on courageously, determined to continue her life’s work – being there for those in need. Her wheel chair antics became legendary in the care facility, as she traversed the halls, visiting patients, giving advice and encouraging her fellow patients to join her in the recreation room to work on puzzles. She is a great hugger and with her genuine warm smile she made sure everyone was accounted for; looking in on patients, worrying about each friend’s health. Not surprisingly, many referred to her as ‘Mayor of Standifer Place’.

Her family wishes to thank the dedicated doctors, nurses and caregivers who cared for her every day with love and compassion. 

Cremation was accorded.  Private burial of her cremated remains will be in the Abingdon Cemetery on Friday, July 15, 2016.  Memorial Mass will be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday, July 15, 2016 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 506 N. Main St., Abingdon, Illinois.  Father Michael Pica will officiate.  Fellowship and food will follow the service in the church fellowship area.  Hinchliff-Pearson-West Abingdon Chapel is assisting the family with local arrangements. Online condolences may be made at www.h-p-w.com.
