Obituary
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Maria Milan on September 27, 2024 at the age of 88.
She was the loving wife of the late Ginesio, caring and devoted Mother to sons John (Mary) and Walter (Mary) and daughter Francesca (Karsten). She was the proud Nonna to her 10 beautiful Grandchildren, Tanya, Melissa, Terra, Veronika, Melanie, Samantha, Adam, Carsten, Alexander, Markus and 15 Great Grandchildren, Domenic, Sofia, Paolo, Gia, Leonardo, Maximus, Alexander, Josie, Alessia, Nicolas, Leo, Alessandro, Matteo, Domenico, Emma.
Maria was born in San Martino di Lupari, located in the Veneto region of Italy. At the age of 20, she embarked on a journey to Canada with her husband, becoming the only one of her nine siblings to emigrate. Despite the vast ocean that separated them, the love and devotion among them remained unwavering and strong to the very end.
Maria and Ginesio started their new lives in Toronto, settling in the Italian neighborhood of Little Italy.
Maria, a dedicated and hardworking woman, focused on raising her three children while cleaning homes and churches. Having sewing skills, she took an opportunity to design and make curtains for one of her employers, which led to the establishment of Milan Interiors, a thriving business in custom drapery alongside her son Walter.
Despite her limited English skills, Maria’s determination to support her family, commitment to excellence, genuine kindness, resulted in years of success as the visionary behind her successful company.
Maria’s greatest devotion was always to her children, and her love of family brought her the deepest joy. She expressed this love through the incredible meals she created for them and everyone who entered the family home. She poured her heart into every dish, and no one ever left without enjoying a meal or taking a jar of her famous tomato sauce home with them. Her passion for her vast garden and cooking will live on as a lasting legacy for many who have known her.
Maria will be cherished in the hearts of countless family members and friends in both Canada and Europe. She will also be remembered for her profound kindness towards others especially children, and of course her bright smile.
Maria passed away peacefully in her sleep, which she so richly deserved, fulfilling a wish she had long held in her many devoted daily prayers. May she rest in peace.
If desired donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
