Anna Dorinda Cavaliere

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Anna Dorinda Cavaliere on October 30, 2022 while surrounded by family. Anna was born November 30th, 1934 in Ateleta Italy.

Anna is survived by her husband Federico of almost 63 years, three children Adriana (Roger Tokay), Vince (Katrina) & Renato (Crystal) as well she was Nonna to Eric (Heather), Cory (Marie), Sara (Christopher), Kayla (Justin), Madyson (Daniel), Maison (Riley), Cole and Kira and Biz-Nonna to Finnick, William, Alice, Nylee and Margaret.

Predeceased by her (Father) Vincenzo & (Mother) Teresa Marino, she is also remembered by her four brothers Giuseppe (Elisabetta, deceased), Gino (Frosena), Carmen (Mirella), Pasquale and her sister Maria (Mario) Pitassi and a large extended family, with over 125 members.

Mom was in her element, when she was pampering her family. She was an amazing cook who excelled at big family dinners. There was always food in the fridge, or a “Dolce” on the counter.

She loved her garden and flowers, winning multiple city awards including “Best Front Yard”. An accomplished seamstress, she would spend hours mending and sewing an array of clothing and crafts. If she ever sat still, it was to watch her afternoon Soap’s or play with the grandkids.

Thank you to everyone who cared for our Mom at Royal Inland Hospital, Overlander Extended Care and Dr. Hollman.

Should friends desire, donations to the Alzheimer Society in memory of Anna would be appreciated.

Prayers will be recited on Sunday, November 6, 2022 at 6:00 pm in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday, November 7 at 11:00 am in the church with the Reverend Father Rajesh Madtha OCD Celebrant. Entombment will follow at Evergreen Mausoleum.

"God Looked Around His Garden"

God looked around His garden

And found an empty space;

He then looked down upon this earth

And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you

And lifted you to rest;

God’s garden must be beautiful,

He only takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering,

He knew you were in pain

He knew you might never

Get well upon this earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough

And the hills were hard to climb

So He closed your weary eyelids

And whispered, “Peace be thine.”

It broke our hearts to lose you

But you never went alone.

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.

"Prayer of St. Francis"

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be

consoled as to console,

to be understood as to understand,

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

St. Francis of Assisi
