Fille de Rosina Ricciutto et Rocco Manzo, épouse du défunt mari Bernard Desjardins, Dora est née à Montréal le 5 septembre, 1930 (Petite Italie). Elle est décédée le 29 octobre, 2020 à l’Hôtel Dieu, Saint-Hyacinthe, Qc.
A talented seamstress, wonderful cook and especially a caring Mom waiting for us all at home, she held family traditions and values at heart. A long-time member of Mtl Museum of Fine Arts and part-time guide at McCord Museum, she loved culture and travel. Mom was a benefactor of Sun Youth organization and other worthy causes, her kindness and generosity remembered.
Remembered lovingly by sons: Robert (Sylvia) Beloeil, Qc. & Normand (Judy) Bonaventure, Qc.
She was blessed with six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Elle laisse aussi dans le deuil plusieurs parents et amis.
Elle nous disait assez souvent en Italien ‘’Non ti fa vecchio’’ e ‘’Piano, piano, va lontano’’. ‘’Per nozze e lutto- si lascia tutto’’, e "Uno a uno dobbiamo tutti andare là"
