Francesca Lauricella

Francesca was born in Italy to her loving parents, Salvatore Fazio (late) and Maria Fasciana (late). She leaves behind 4 Children (Salvatore, Giuseppe, Concetta and Gioacchino), 7 Grandchildren (Ross, Charlie, Francesca L., Francesca R., Josie, Philip, and Francesca D. ) and 10 Great Grandchildren (Gia, Quentin, Vienna, Anthony, Joseph, Ross, Alessandra, Massimo, Luca and Mila).

Francesca embarked on a courageous journey with her husband, Rosario, to build a new life in Canada. Challenges marked their early years, but Francesca's spirit and boundless love transformed their hardships into a testament of resilience and hope.

Francesca was known for her kindness, ability to see the good in everyone, and unwavering dedication to those she loved. Her home was a sanctuary of warmth and generosity, where her radiant smile and nurturing presence made everyone feel cherished. She always knew exactly what you needed - whether it was her words of wisdom or just a big hug. Francesca's culinary skills were legendary; her dishes, crafted with love and care, brought joy to family gatherings and were a testament to her deep-rooted affection for her loved ones.

Francesca shared unconditional love to those around her. Her heart was always open, and her spirit was always generous, never expecting anything back in return. She believed in the goodness of people and lived her life with an open hand and an open heart. Her family was her world, and she dedicated herself to creating a life filled with love, laughter, and delicious meals shared around the table.

Francesca's legacy lives on through her children, grandchildren, and the countless lives she touched with her kindness.
