Mary Teresa Cernecca

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden, peaceful passing of our Mom and Nanny on November 20, 2020, surrounded by her family at the Niagara Health St. Catharines Site in her 91st year. Predeceased by her husband Tony (1996) and her grandson, Anthony (2000). Loving Mother to Leanne, Christine and Jim. Loving, proud and devoted Nanny to her grandson Matthew. Our Mom’s love and presence will be missed her many loved ones and friends. Mom lived her life in faith, with strength, dignity and selfless devotion to her family. She will be dearly missed in our daily lives. At Mom’s request, a private funeral and interment has taken place. Mom requested the following be placed at the bottom of her obituary…

“Now that life on earth for me is over,

All my work on earth is done.

I look forward to going up to Heaven,

Where all souls are treated as one.

No more heartaches, no more pain,

Just pleasure in meeting all again.

There’s my husband Tony, Mom and Dad,

Siblings, Aunts and Uncles too.

Grandpas and Grandmas and Cousins quite a few.

All my friends who have gone before,

Some will be waiting at the great door.

To all those that I leave behind,

May someday peace you’ll find -

For up in Heaven I’m to be,

So dry your tears, I’ll wait for thee.”
