Madelaine passed away with her family by her side on May 12th 2021 at the age of 64. Although her life was cut far too short, it was full of travel, good books and strong coffee.
She is survived by her husband Vito; daughters, Leah and Laura; Mother, Maria Del Rossi; Brother Paul Del Rossi (Lisa Ethans); aunt, uncle, cousins and close friends. She was preceded by her father, Elvo Del Rossi.
Madelaine was passionate about teaching from an early age and went on to teach for the Vancouver School Board for 30 years. She enjoyed evenings at the theatre, trips with friends and family, and often fell asleep at night with a book in her hands.
All those who were lucky enough to know Madelaine can attest to the kind hearted and thoughtful person she was. She will be greatly missed and her memory will live on with each of us.
A celebration of her life will take place at a later date.
