After a long and healthy life, Emma Ala Serassio passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at Carrington Court on March 20, 2017. She was born January 17, 1924 in Ophir, UT.
The daughter of Ines Filippi and Joseph Ala, she married James Anthony Serassio in Tooele on September 14, 1940 and their marriage was blessed with 2 sons. Emma was neat and tidy in her appearance and her house was meticulous.
She was known for her hospitality, sense of humor, and love for her family and friends. She continued the Italian tradition of making pizzelles and feeding anyone who stopped by. No one was ever turned away, including stray cats. She made everyone feel important, because THEY were important. Growing up in the depression, Emma knew the value of a dollar and insisted on getting her money’s worth.
Emma was employed by Jordan School District as a food service worker at Riverton Elementary. She loved the children and her co-workers. Emma also volunteered at the Riverton Senior Citizen Center. She was a devout Catholic and served for 30 years and was honored as Catholic Woman of the Year.
Emma is survived by her brother Alfonso (Lalla) Isi, 2 sons Jim (Karen) Serassio, and George (Darla) Serassio. She has 5 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Emma is preceded in death by her husband James A. Serassio and grandson Joseph James (J.J.) Serassio, mother Ines F. Ala Isi, father Joseph Ala, step-father Anthony Toni Isi, brothers John Ala, Lally Ala, George Ala, Dominick Isi, Tony Isi, William Isi, and sisters Esolina Isi Morgan, and Erminia Isi.
