Eleonora Bonanni

Eleonora leaves to cherish her memory her siblings - Maria Gettino, Antonia Campanella, Anna Campanella, Alfonza (Rosario) Vassallo, Vincenzo (Maria) Moncado, Lina Valentini, Salvatore (Debbie) Moncado and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Predeceased in death by Carmine Bonanni (Husband) as well Diego and Maria Moncado (Parents), Giuseppe Moncado (Brother).

Eleonora was born in Canicatti, Sicily to Diego and Maria Moncado on May 16, 1945. Eleonora was the 5th of 9 children.

With the help of Eleonora’s older sister Maria – who resided in Winnipeg - Eleonora at the age of 17, immigrated to Canada with the rest of her family as her Father Diego Moncado had passed away.

Eleonora worked as a Seamstress until she met the love of her life in the Spring of 1971 Carmine Bonanni. Eleonora and Carmine married after a 3 month of courtship and were married for 49 happy years.

Eleonora was loved by all and made many friends with her kind nature, generosity, and great sense of humor. Family was very important to Eleonora and she loved spending time with her brothers, her sisters, her nephews and her nieces. She was considered the comedian of the family - always telling funny jokes and funny stories with impersonations. Her best friend was her sister Alfonza, they were inseparable from the time they were little girls. If they were not with each other they would be on the phone minimum 3 times a day. Eleanora will be dearly missed by all.

The family would like to thank the St. Boniface Hospital Cardiac ICU Doctors, Nurses and Staff for all their help and care.
