Obituary of Angelina Pez
PEZ, Angelina
September 21, 1925 – October 22, 2021
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother and Nonna, Angelina Pez
(Drigani) at the age of 96. She is now reunited with the love of her life, Amelio (1999), to
whom she was married for 45 years. Angelina was born on September 21st, 1925, in Zugliano,
Udine, Italy. Beloved mother of Peter (Pierino) (late Juanita 2019), Marisa Figgins (Wayne), and
Cristina Stein. Proud Nonna to Erica, Julianna, and Alexander. Loving sister to the late Alfeo
(Novella), the late Maria (Luigi), the late Galliano Drigani, and sister-in-law Bianca and their
families in Italy. Angelina was a devoted member of St. Angela Merici Church where she
volunteered as a church and funeral choir member for over 40 years, as well as a member of
the ladies cleaning crew. She was also an associate parishioner of Most Precious Blood Parish
since arriving in Canada in 1955.
Angelina spent her life in Canada, along with her husband Amelio, maintaining the traditions of
their cherished Friuli. She loved her garden, growing stelle alpine and oleanders, making wine,
and maintaining her large vegetable garden up until the age of 90. Her strength and resilience
stayed with her until her final days.
Our sincere heartfelt gratitude to Dolce Vita Retirement Home, Tony and Franca Conciatori, and
the compassionate staff that cared for our mother like a family member for the past 3.5 years.
Their loving care made her feel like she was back in her beloved Italy.
At the family’s request, and as per Angelina’s belief of supporting charitable causes, in lieu of
flowers, please make a donation in her memory to the Alzheimer Society of Windsor-Es or
the Windsor Regional Hospital Foundation.
