     Mrs. Jarvi was born on November 8, 1947 in Brooklyn, New York, a daughter of the late Vito Andrew and Isabella Esposito Cavalcante.

In addition, Mrs. Jarvi was a founding member of the Secular Franciscan Order at St. Mary Help of Christian Church. Most of all she was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend to all those she met.

     A Requiem Mass will be celebrated on Friday, October 22, 2021 at 11:00am at  St. Mary Help of Christian Church 138 Fairfield St. SE, Aiken, SC 29801 with the Very Rev. Gregory Wilson officiating.  Rites of Christian Burial will follow in Calvary Cemetery, 1255 University Lane, Aiken, SC 29801.

     The family will receive friends from 6:00pm until 8:00pm Thursday, October 21, 2021 at the Historic George Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 211 Park Ave SW, Aiken, SC 92801 (803) 649.6234. A Secular Franciscan Order Wake Service will be held at 6:30pm.
