Mary Villella
September 18, 1939 – September 18, 2021
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Mary Villella.
She was born in Grimaldi, Cosenza, Italy and grew up seeing the atrocities of war. Her father, Gigi Cuzzetto, came to Canada to find work and sent for his family in 1951. They settled in Trail, BC.
Mary married Valerio Villella in 1956 and raised their three children; Luisa, Josie and Santo, who have a lot of fond memories of the feasts she would prepare for family and relatives.
She was a kind and generous woman who helped people from all walks of life with whatever she could do. Mary was a strong-minded, independent lady with a quick wit and an incredible sense of humour.
She spent many years working in the grocery industry and on her time off, she would be cooking, baking and gardening but she lived for her family…
Mary is predeceased by her parents, husband and son. She is survived by her loving daughters Lois and Josie.
Many thanks to Dr. Hii for all the years of care and going above and beyond. The family would also like to thank the KBRH Emergency Department, Shoppers Drug Mart and all the friends for the flowers, food, cards and baking. Special thanks to Bill Clark at Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ – Mom just adored him.
A private family gathering was held.
As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made in Mary’s memory to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Health Foundation (Emergency Department Campaign) at 1200 Hospital Bench, Trail, BC, V1R 4M1 or online at www.kbrhhealthfoundation.ca
We will miss you forever Mom – and your words…
Que Sera Sera
Love forever and always,
Lois and Josie
