She was predeceased by her late husband, Igino and her brother Marcello. She is survived by her children Sandra and Robert (Anna), her sister Franca and her beloved grandchildren Gino and Josephine (Chris), Also her brother in law and family and nieces and nephew in Canada and Europe.
Mommy loved to have the whole family over for Sunday lunches in the early years. Also enjoyed to spend time in her vegetable garden and tending to her flowers and plants. She also enjoyed having conversations with family and friends whether it be in person or on the phone. People loved to make mom laugh because her laughter was so adorable to hear.
She was also like the "Children Whisperer", she adored children and they loved her right back. There isn't a decade of her life, where she wasn't holding or walking a child.
Lastly, Mom's birthday messages left on voicemails were cherished. They were always deep, loving, and very poetically spoken.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Toronto.
