Joseph "Joe" Anthony Mascaro, Sr., on Friday, March 14, 2025, died of natural causes at home surrounded by his family.  He was 87, born in New Orleans, LA where he lived for 60 years then a resident of Carriere, MS for the past 27 years.

He was preceded in death by the love of his life and wife of 63 years, Elizabeth "Liz" Giglio Mascaro.

Father to Joseph A. Mascaro, Jr. (Johanna), Chuck A. Mascaro, Sr. (Michelle), the late Michael A. Mascaro, Jane E. McGee (Jeffery), and Brad A. Mascaro, Sr. (Charmel).  He is the proud grandfather to Caitlin Mascaro, Malayne Mascaro Harvey (James); Chuck A., Jr., Amanda ("Mandy"), Chase A. (Megan) and Mollie E. Mascaro; John Roberts, the late Tony "TJ" Mascaro and Cheyene A. Mascaro; the late Mindy E. McGee (Brett), Dustin J. (Brigitte) and J. Dylan (Amanda) McGee; Brad A. Mascaro, Jr., Michael A.

III, and Raelynn M.  He was preceded in death by siblings Catherine Baggett, Vivian Waguespack, and May, Ralph, Lawrence, Anthony and George Mascaro.

Joe met Liz on a blind date, fell in love instantly, and married 30 days later.  While a roofer for many years, he was nothing short of a "Jack of all trades."  He never threw anything away – if you needed something, he had it.  He enjoyed his workshop, always fixing something or building treasures for family members, and teaching his trade skills to his grandchildren.  After creating many beautiful memories through the years with his beloved wife, his family finds comfort knowing that he and Liz are finally reunited for eternity.
