Her parents and their family immigrated to Ontario Canada when she was 7 years old, she helped raise her younger sisters Gerardina and Sabina Luongo. She went on to raise two children Michael and Alise. She was at Wawanesa Insurance for over 15 years and on her spare time she enjoyed gardening in the Summers and visiting friends and family. Her family pays tribute "Throughout her battle Olivia grew weaker, but those who knew her knew how strong she truly was. As life presented her with obstacles she faced them head on. The weight of the world would always fail to compare to the weight of her heart. Showing love and pride in everyone she held dear. She was our biggest fan, and our most admired hero. When she felt too weak to lift her own granddaughter Olivia, she was still lifting us all up through her love and support. We believe God called her home early because she already understood what he put us here on this Earth to learn: "That life is precious, and love is abundant" She is survived by her two children Alise (Jeff) and Michael (Amanda), her granddaughter Olivia, her mother Maria, her two sisters Sabina and Gerardina (Mario), and her nieces and nephews Maria, Francesca, Robert, and Thomas Friends and family will be called to the JERRETT FUNERAL HOME (1141 St. Clair Ave W., One block east of Dufferin St.) on Saturday, April 7th and Sunday, April 8th, 2018 from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm & 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm.
