Our hearts are broken as we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Nonna and sister, Cecilia Valmorbida. She passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on November 11, 2020. She was predeceased by her husband of 58 years Pietro; brother Antonio; and sister Antonietta. She is survived by her children; Sandro (Karen) and Marina (Gordon), her cherished grandchildren Aaron and Christian; sister Graziella (Renato) and many nieces and nephews in Italy and Canada. Cecilia was born in Valli del Pasubio, Italy on May 13, 1936. She immigrated to Canada in 1958 to join Pietro where they married and raised their family in North Vancouver. Affectionately known as Mom, Zia and Wannie to those who loved her, she will be forever remembered for her generosity, concern for others and amazing hospitality. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a Funeral Mass will be held at a later date.
A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, It broke our hearts to see you go, God only takes the best.
