Heaven has gained another angel. It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Onorina with her family by her side at Heron Terrace on December 20, 2021 at the age of 92.
Loving and devoted mother of daughter, Wilma Hannon (Brian) and son, Perry Verdecchia (Cathy). Proud nonna, cherished by her grandchildren Dr. Ashley Hannon (Al Aguilar), Dr. Kyle Verdecchia (Dr. Ilma Xhaferllari), Jaclyn Hannon, R.N. (Alex Hipwell) of Australia, and Dr. Dana Verdecchia (Aaron Meredith) of Florida. Step-nonna to Amber Dizep (Peter). Sweet Bis-nonna to Sofia Verdecchia and Nonnarina to Sydney, and Samantha Dizep. Predeceased by her parents, Vincenzo and Teresa (Chioini) Ferranti, brothers Joe Ferranti, Bruno Ferranti, and sisters-in-law Gemma Ferranti and Olivia Paglialunga of Italy. Onorina will be greatly missed by brothers Arturo Ferranti, Elvio Ferranti, Sandro Ferranti, and sisters-in-law Lina Ferranti, Cecile Ferranti and Anna Antonini of Italy. She will be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews, both in Canada and Italy. All who had the honor and priviledge of knowing her will miss her dearly.
Onorina was born February 15, 1929, in Fermo, Italy. She made Canada her home after immigrating with her husband in 1953. The love of her homeland brought her back to Italy many times over the years to enjoy the company of her family, relax on the beach in Porto San Giorgio, and swim in the beautiful Adriatic Sea. Onorina’s passion for cooking and generous, welcoming spirit ensured her family and friends were well fed, as they gathered around her table. She loved decorating her home, sewing, gardening, and of course shopping!
The family would like to thank Families First Funeral Home and the entire staff at Heron Terrace, particularly Birdsview, who provided joy to Onorina with professional care and compassion over the last year. They are true angels!
In lieu of flowers, donations would be greatly appreciated in memory of Onorina, to the charity of your choice.
