Ross C. Parasiliti

Ross C. Parasiliti, 97, of Jamestown NY joined his beloved wife in heaven on Wednesday April 16, 2025. He was born in Tortorici, Italy on Sept. 17, 1927, the son of Rosario and Francesca Parasiliti. Ross spent many years on his family farm in Sicily taking care of crops and animals but immigrated to the U.S. in 1961 where he began working construction for Jamestown Construction. Ross married Josephine in June of 1961 at St. James Catholic Church where they were lifelong parishioners, and spent many wonderful years together. In their later years Ross loved taking bus tours with his wife all over the U.S. He enjoyed growing vegetables in his garden and loved sharing his crops with his neighbors – he made his own sauce and carried on his wife’s recipes for all to enjoy. He also had a passion for woodworking and building furniture and even went onto working for Maddox Table Co., and Mason Carvings but most of all Ross was a devoted husband, father and family man and always put his family first.
