Camille Hansen-Grosso, resident of Inverness, Florida, formerly of Rochester, NY, and Dearborn, MI, passed away on June 17, 2018 in, Inverness, FL at the age of 93 years.
Camille was born in Rochester, NY Nov 3, 1924 to a large and loving Italian Family. She is the last survivor of her parents Gerlermo Pavia & Theresa Scardinale Pavia Mangone’s 11 children. She is survived by her daughter Virginia Mathews of Dearborn, MI., Son Trevor Grosso and beloved daughter-in-law Aoi Grosso, of Inverness, FL. as well as 15 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and 30+ nieces & nephews.
Camille lived a long industrious life and was a woman before her time. Left alone with 3 children in 1956 she forged forward from a stay at home wife, to factory worker, to successful singer in NYC. At 32 she became the bride of Daniel A. Grosso of NYC, who became a wonderful husband & father for her children and eventually Grandpa to their grandchildren. She went on to become a licensed beautician, then entrepreneur, having established three successful enterprises. Though widowed in 1977, she successfully retired in 1993 to Inverness, fulfilling the hope she shared with her husband Daniel to build their dream home on the lot they had purchased together in 1960.
She went on to become an active member of her church, to travel and maintain ties with her family in Michigan, NYC and Rochester, NY. Like her mother before her, in spite of some late life heartache inflicted upon her, she proved to be a woman of faith, a survivor, a woman of dignity and love. Camille was a devout born again Christian, loved her family, generous, a wise woman who was an avid reader and enjoyed hobbies of floral arranging, ceramics & painting.
She will be sadly missed by all who knew and TRULY loved her. She was predeceased by her husband Daniel A. Grosso, son Bruce Grosso, grandsons Duane Mathews, Taylor Grosso, granddaughter Katelyn Carson, 10 siblings, several nieces & nephews as well as her in-laws and many, many friends.
