Antonia Pellegrino

Antonia was a devoted mother to Adam and his wife Tina, Alex and his wife Jennifer, Adrian and his wife Deidre, and Livia; a proud grandmother to Alex and his wife Angela, Andy, and Leonardo; and a cherished great-grandmother to Chelsea and Luke. She was predeceased by her husband, Pasquale, in 1996.

Antonia immigrated to Canada in 1959 and married her husband, Pasquale. She worked hard to provide for her family and took great pride in her home and skills. A woman of remarkable talent and dedication, Antonia was an exceptional cook, a skilled sewer, and a gifted leather worker. She held herself to high standards and took pride in everything she did.

Antonia had a deep love for animals, especially her dog, Puma, whom she cared for deeply. She enjoyed the companionship of cats and dogs throughout her life and always had a soft spot for them.

Antonia will be remembered for her dedication, resilience, and care for those she loved. Her legacy lives on through her family, and she will be deeply missed.
