___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our Flown West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

Complete obituary:
 
Josephine Mary Romano, 93, formerly of Alton, was released from this life and entered eternal peace with the Lord on Jan. 27, 2013, at her residence at Foxes Grove Supportive Living in Wood River.

She was born on Nov. 11, 1919, in Bethalto, Ill., to Frederick and Myrtle (Chalengsworth) Berghoff. She married Anthony Romano in Alton on Aug. 26, 1939. They were blessed to celebrate 73 years of marriage. He survives.

Jo was a homemaker all of her life. She loved to dance, and for many years she and her husband enjoyed dancing every Saturday night. She was a voracious reader, and particularly liked Agatha Christie novels. She traveled extensively throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe. London was her favorite city. She became an avid Cardinal baseball fan, and she and Tony enjoyed watching the games together. She was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church for more than 70 years. In earlier years she helped with funeral luncheons, was active with the CYO and was a member of the Altar Society. She had a special devotion to Mary, the Blessed Mother, and said the rosary daily. Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her beloved family, her daughters and spouses, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Surviving are two daughters, Judi Peck of Mandeville, La.; Mary Jo Romano-Buesteton of Godfrey; and a son-in-law she loved like a son, Joel Buesteton of Godfrey; three grandchildren, Erin and husband, Carl Oest-Larsen, of Seattle; Dr. Kyle Buesteton of Godfrey; Sarah Buesteton of Kansas City, Mo.; two great-grandchildren, Lene and Kate Oest-Larsen of Seattle; a sister, Mary Oldham, and a brother, Robert, and wife, Irene (Jeanne) Berghoff, of Bethalto; sister-in-law Elaine Berghoff of Greenville, Ill.; nieces and nephews; great-nieces and nephews and a very dear friend, Nina Olmsted of Jerseyville.

She was preceded in death by her parents; one sister, Alice Stiegler; four brothers, Leroy, Frederick, Eugene and James Berghoff; her son-in-law, Charles Peck, and a sister-in-law and special friend, Rose Dipiazzo.

Visitation will be from 4-7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1, at Elias, Kallal and Schaaf Funeral Home in Alton.

Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 2, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Alton, with Father James Walther, OMV, as celebrant.

She will be laid to rest at St. Joseph Cemetery in Alton.

Memorials may be made to St. Mary's Building Fund or Foxes Grove Activity Fund.

The family expresses a heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful staff at Foxes Grove Supportive Living for their loving and compassionate care of Jo. We especially appreciated the care and kindness she received in her final days. A special thanks to her devoted caregiver, Rita Rubenstein, who diligently cared for her for almost two years.

Special thanks also to the Hospice team of St. Anthony's Hospital who helped make Mom's journey home a peaceful one, and to Dr. Abdul Muhammud, who provided exceptional care.
