She is predeceased by her husband Domenico (2009), parents Antonio & Maria, brother Victtorio and sister Amelia. She will be lovingly remembered by her children: Brunetta, Marisa (Terry) & Rick; daughter-in-law Lisa; grandchildren: Brandon, Kayla & Alyssa; brothers in Italy Cesare & Silvano; as well as numerous nephews, nieces, relatives, and friends in Canada & Italy.
Anna was born in Valdagno, Italy and immigrated to Canada in 1957 to join her fiancé Domenico to start a new life together. They were the first couple to be married at the newly built Holy Family Notre Dame Catholic Church, Port Alberni, on December 28, 1957.
She was a loving and devoted wife, mother & grandmother who enjoyed gardening, baking bread, and knitting lovely sweaters and slippers. Family meant everything to her, and she showed us in so many ways. We will miss her dearly. Rest in peace mama, you will be in our hearts forever. Per Sempre nei nostri quori.
The family wants to thank: Dr. Benjamin How and the many caregivers and staff at Glenwarren Lodge, Victoria, BC for their kind and compassionate care for the past five years; Dr. Alan Fraser, Port Alberni, for his many years of faithful care and attention; to all the relatives, neighbours and friends who made it possible for our mother to stay in her home for as long as possible.
As per Anna's wishes no formal service will be held. Cremation has taken place. A private family graveside will take place where she will be laid to rest beside her husband in St. Peter's Cemetery, Port Alberni, BC.
