Mrs. Marita Favali Comazzetto

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Marita Comazzetto (nee Favali) on August 24th, 2015 at the age of 84 years. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family and friends.

Marita was born in Kelowna, B.C. on October 21st, 1930. She was predeceased by her loving husband Ernesto, her parents Palmizio and Louigia, and brothers Roy, Frank, Lawrence and Mike.

Marita will be dearly missed by her children: Robert, Teresa (Brian Hanna), grandchildren Lisa, Nicholas and Derek Comazzetto and Sean and Michael Hanna, and her longtime friend Dodie Costain. She will be lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends who she cared so much for.

Marita was a wonderful wife, mother, noni, aunt and friend to many. . She was always concerned for the wellbeing of family and friends. She had a great sense of humour, a quick temper, enjoyed reading and loved company. Coffee was at 3 every day. She was a great cook and took pride in carrying on the traditions of her family. Her home was open to everyone and she especially enjoyed visits of nieces and nephews who never left without a treat in their hand. She had a heart of gold and this is how her life was lived.

Marita was a hard working woman who balanced her role as wife and mother with restaurant management and cooking. She supported Ernie by spending many hours caring for the vegetable stand on Valleyview Drive where she served many customers, many of whom remain lifelong friends.

Marita was a lifetime member of the Little Flower Society where she enjoyed many social activities. She volunteered her cooking expertise at many community events.

The family would like to thank the staff of 7th floor at Royal Inland Hospital, all the home care staff and Dr. Pretorius for all their support and care.

Prayers will be recited at Holy Family Parish, 2797 Sunset Drive at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, August 28th. The Reverend Father Fred Weisbeck will celebrate the Funeral Mass on Saturday, August 29th at 11:00 a.m.

Should friends desire, donations to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, B.C. V2E 2S9 would be appreciated in her memory.
