Giosephine Elsia Tomassetti

After a long battle with several physical complications with her health she died peacefully and the pain has suddenly stopped.

She is survived by her four children Luisa and Mario Cirici, Isabel and Diego Moncado and her two sons Raffaelle and Victor Tomassetti.

Mom is also survived by many grandchildren and great grandchildren who loved her dearly.

Daughter of the late Luigi and Pierina LaRosa she is also survived by her sisters, Connie and Mario Cianflone, Sonia and Savino Malizia. Her brother Carmine and Lina LaRosa along with many nieces and nephews.

Our mother was born on September 3, 1937 in the small town of Gerace, in the province of Reggio Calabria, Italy. As a young lady she travelled to Winnipeg with her father Luigi in 1952, and later would meet and marry the love of her life Bruno.

A simple woman who loved to cook and entertain friends and family. She taught us the world of music that brought her so much happiness. Singing old love songs that her parents taught her was a common thing in our home.

She was a woman who loved her children unconditionally and taught us to do the same.

A breast cancer survivor Mom would go on to battling other illnesses, kidney disease due to diabetes and also suffered a stroke. Even against all these odds her world was all about her children and how she needed to carry on for them. A warm loving smile when we visited her and never a complaint.

We love you Mom and we can hear you answer with “I love you too until I die and after.”

A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00am on Saturday, August 1, 2015 at Holy Rosary Church, 510 River Avenue, with a viewing at 10:00am.

We would like to thank the staff at Golden Links Personal Care Home for the outstanding care and compassion while Mom was in their care.

If so desired, in lieu of flowers, we are a Memorial Contribution to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
