Antonietta D'Andrea

While her departure was sudden, Antonietta D’Andrea life took a tragic turn following complications from a day surgery, which resulted in sepsis. Despite the best efforts of the staff in the Guelph ICU, her passing was sudden and heart-wrenching, leaving her family in profound sorrow.

Born in San Benedetto, Italy, and seeking a brighter future for her family, she bravely immigrated to Canada, embracing a new country and its opportunities with open arms. Antonietta life revolved around her family. She leaves behind her devoted husband, Gabriele; her cherished daughter Mascia and son-in-law Jay; and her son Luca and daughter-in-law Andrea. Her light shined brightest when surrounded by her four beloved grandchildren, Eva, Madalynn, Aiden & Cameron, who brought her immeasurable joy. To them, she was Nonna, a title synonymous with warmth, and unconditional love.

Throughout her life, Antonietta faced numerous health challenges with an incredible grace and fortitude. Even in the face of adversity, her optimistic spirit never faltered. She approached each obstacle with a quiet strength and an unwavering belief in the good that still existed, even in the darkest of times. Antonietta was known for her kindness and generosity. She had a knack for making delicious homemade pasta. Her home was always open, a welcoming space filled with warmth, and the aroma of her incredible cooking.

She will be forever cherished and remembered for the beautiful person she is and the immense love she shared. Her spirit will continue to inspire us, and her memory will live on in the hearts of those she cherished most.
