It is with great sadness that the family announce the passing of Marta Aletta, loving mother, wife, and nonna who passed away suddenly on Thursday, May 7, 2026 at St. Boniface General Hospital.
She leaves to mourn her loving husband, Michele Aletta of 55 years of marriage, daughter Rosanna (Paulo), son Giuseppe (Carla) and grandchildren Ava, Porzia, London, Michela, Isla, and Antonio. Marta also leaves to mourn her brothers and sisters-in-law, Michele (Rachele), Giacomo (Antonia), Vincenzo (Maddelena), late Francisco (Antonietta) as well as nieces, nephews, aunt, uncle, and cousins.
Marta was born on December 4, 1951 in Monte San Giacomo, Salerno, Italy to parents Antonio and Antonia Aluotto. At the age of 19, she courageously emigrated to Canada to begin her life with her beloved husband, Michele, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. A gifted and meticulous seamstress, Marta spent the majority of her career at Gino’s Custom Tailor where her talent and warm spirit were well known to many in the community. Marta’s life was defined by devotion to her family. She was a pillar of strength and love to her family, husband, children and grandchildren, who were her greatest pride and joy.
Marta loved reading, gardening, cooking, spending time outdoors, and caring for her family. Marta will be remembered for her skilled hands, her resilient spirit, and the profound love she shared with those closest to her. She leaves behind a legacy of family, tradition, and hard work that will never be forgotten.
A special thank you to Oakview Personal Care Home and Riverview and the doctors and nurses at St. Boniface Hospital for your care and compassion during Mom’s journey with Alzheimer’s.
Donations in Marta’s memory may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba.
