Rosina was baptized, received her sacraments and was married to Angelo, the love of her life, in Capodistria, Italy. In her early years, Rosina was a farmer producing wine and olive oil. In 1955, Rosina, Angelo and Claudio (one year old) fled from Capodistria, Italy and in 1957 they immigrated to Canada.
Mom was beautiful and good; optimistic and kind. Her strength and character were nurtured by her unconditional and uncompromising love and faith. Rosina was actively involved in her community as she was a member of the Canadian-Italian society, the Catholic women's league and sang in The OLPH Parish choir.
Rosina enjoyed working in her yard and garden; sewing and crafts; fishing and camping; singing and dancing! Mom loved to laugh and retained her sense of humor until the very end.
Rosina was predeceased by her husband Angelo of 64 years and her mother and father; Antonio and Maria grayson; her siblings Simon, Maria, Justina, Anna and Antonio.
She leaves behind her son's Claudio, Eduardo (Sheila); her great grandchildren Scott (Amanda), Sean (Lindsey) and her great granddaughter Sophia.
