Ines (Marchionni) Amadori

It is with great sadness and profound relief that she is now at peace, that we are saying goodbye to

Ines Amadori, our Mother, our Nona and our Bizi, a few weeks shy of her 98th birthday. Ines passed

away peacefully on October 5th, 2022, with her daughters at her side, after several years battling

dementia. There are so many things we will remember about Mom. She was a very special woman,

incredibly smart, determined and slightly impatient. While she had strong opinions, she was wise

enough to allow them to evolve with the times. She had a series of different jobs over the years, most

notably becoming a real estate agent in her early 60's where she built a solid business for over 10

years. Devoted to her family and incredibly supportive of her children and grandchildren, she was

utterly confident in all our abilities and interests. She showed up, literally and figuratively, for each of us

at all the important moments over the years. She enjoyed 52 years of marriage with the love of her life,

Ted. Devastated by his passing in 1998, she embraced her faith, and with the support of her family,

found the strength to continue to live her life to the fullest. She enjoyed many outings with her lifelong

friends Mary, Olga, Flora and Lola (the Golden Girls). She continued to visit Florida with friends, and

traveled to see her relatives in Pesaro, Italy who welcomed her as the matriarch of the family. To her

delight, she was able to introduce some of her grandchildren to this extended family. She attended her

grandchildren's weddings, including the wonderful celebration that saw the entire family travel together

to Spain in 2010. She adored children and lived long enough to meet all 14 of her great-grandchildren.

Even as her memory started to fail, they always brought her so much happiness. Ines was preceded in

death by her parents Aldebrando and Rosa Marchionni, brother, Dante, her beloved husband, Torido

(Ted), her in-laws, Aldo and Guilia Amadori, sister-in-law Lola Cassiani, son-in-law Moose Morin and

nearly all of her friends and peers. She leaves behind an incredible legacy in her family: daughters

Doris and Rita and son-in-law Jean, son Dan and daughter-inlaw Barbra; niece Nancy and nephews

Marc and Gerald; her grandchildren and spouses Marc & Jess, Carla & Matthew, Paul & Lara, Sara &

Adam, Erica, Michael & Izaskun, David & Kimberly and Heather; as well as great nieces, a great

nephew and her 14 great grandchildren. She was well cared for in her final years by her family and

some truly wonderful caregivers. Special thanks to the Foxview Residence staff, especially Marina,

Zehara, Hannah, Shano, & Sawsan, as well as Danielle & Amy, Rose & Hanna, Marie and Maria, and

the rest of the second-floor caregivers for their loving care, empathy and compassion.

We also extend our sincere gratitude to our friend Joan, whose love and devotion to Mom throughout

this past year was such a help and comfort for our family. While dementia slowly took away her

memories, she left us with enough of them to last a lifetime. We take comfort in our belief that wherever

she is now, she remembers who she is and how many people loved her. Rest in peace, Mom....we will

never forget you.

A celebration of her life will take place with visitation on November 11, 2022 from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM,

and November 12, 2022 at 10:00am, followed by a funeral service and interment at Centre Funéraire

Côte-Des-Neiges, 4525 Ch de la Côte-DesNeiges, Mtl. QC In lieu of flowers, please consider a

donation to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, 20 Eglinton Ave. W., Toronto ON, M4R 1K8.

(1-800-616-8166), in the hope that one day, we will find a way to eliminate dementia.
