Buonaccolto, Francesca
April 4, 1930 – February 20, 2021
It is with profound sadness and heartache that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, FRANCESCA BUONACCOLTO, peacefully in the arms of her daughter, who lovingly cared for her, into the anxiously awaiting arms of her beloved husband and soulmate Stefano (predeceased 2013). She will be deeply missed by her children, daughter Gina (Renzo), son Carmen (Laura), and treasured grandson Stefano. She was the last surviving member of her family, predeceased by her parents, Francesco and Alfonsa, siblings Raimondo, Carmela, Francesco, Maria and Giovanna, all of whom anxiously await to greet her in Heaven. She is survived by many nieces, nephews in Italy and Belgium. Born in Santa Elisabetta, Sicily, her young family emigrated to Canada in 1962, settling in Hamilton, with no resources, unable to speak English, and no jobs, but with great hope for the future. The early years will be remembered as a time of great struggle. Driven by her devotion and strong faith in God, she worked tirelessly to provide for her family. Her family was her life. Rare in this world, she embodied all the qualities of an exceptional wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and friend. She was genuine, honest, transparent, loving, self sacrificing and all forgiving. Her heart was pure; her soul had no faults. She had an infectious smile and was affectionately known as « Nonna » to many. As a child growing up, I was her world. As she grew older, she became mine. There are no words to describe the depth of our loss. She was the best mother a daughter could have.
May God grant her eternal peace.
Buonanotte Pupetta Mia. I love you.
For you who have a mother
Cherish her with care,
For you never know the heartache
Till you see her empty chair.
