Felicita passed away October 2, 2021 in the Crowsnest Pass Health Care Centre at the age of 97. Predeceased by her husband, Jesus (Joe) in 2005; she is survived by her son, Jose (Suzanne) Crowsnest Pass, AB, her grandsons Jay (Jill) Brisbane, Australia, Shane (Stephanie) Calgary, AB, and her great-grandchildren, Ozzy and Willow (Cohen), Brisbane, Australia.
Felicita and Jesus arrived in Canada in 1955, settling in Duncan, BC in 1957 then to Victoria, BC in 1963. She worked as a custodian in the Student Union Building at the University of Victoria from 1967 to 1989. Felicita was known by hundreds of students during her career. Throughout her career, she formed hundreds of genuine connections with the students of the University. To many young people, she became their adopted mother, lending them a kind ear and guiding them as she would her own family. Upon her retirement, the University honoured Felicita’s commitment to its student body, naming its pub after her and gifting Felicita with an honorary degree. Her generosity and kindness was felt by all who knew her. She loved her family, pets and her garden. She was a talented seamstress and knitted socks for everyone she knew and anyone who asked. In 2006, she moved to the Crowsnest Pass, AB to be with her son where she relaxed and continued knitting.
A Funeral Service will be held on Tuesday, October 19, 2021 at 2:00 PM in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC. Condolences may be offered to the family below.
