Italia Colasanti Obituary
Colasanti, Italia
With sadness, and hope as she continues on her eternal journey, we mark the passing of Italia Colasanti, in her 100th year. She was born to Angela (nee Ventura) and Pasquale Maiuri in Ceprano Italy, which is where she met and married the love of her life, Pietro Colasanti in 1949. Italia, with a young daughter in tow, sailed to Canada to meet her husband, who had moved there first to establish a new life. Industrious and hard working, the couple eventually started their own fruit farm where they raised four children; Susan Sims (Brad), Angela Will (Doug), Joe (Catherine) and Scott (Anu). Italia was beloved and best-ever Nonna to Julie Sims (Ed), Meghan Sims, Justin Will, Elise Will (Ian), Suvi Colasanti and Nico Colasanti, and bis Nonna to Isabella Natalia, Finn and Ava Italia. She was the last of her family line, predeceased by two brothers lost in WW2 (Rocco and Arduino) and two sisters (Ida and Francesca). Nonna Italia was never happier than when she was in her own kitchen, where she made many family meals. Sunday dinners with old country recipes was the gravity that kept her loving family together. Fondly known as the “peach lady”, Italia took great pride in her fruit trees and her roadside stand, where her legendary generosity drew in loyal customers from far and wide. Her vegetable garden was her happy place as were her beautiful roses. Italia had a long and eventful life, enduing hardships as well as joyful times. She will be missed. Special thanks to Sun Parlour Home. Visiting at Reid Funeral Home & Reception Centre, 14 Russell Street, Leamington (519-326-2631) Sunday from 2-5 pm and on Monday March 3, 2025 at St. Michael’s Church, 29 Elliott Street, Leamington from 9:30 am until Mass of the Resurrection at 10:30 am. Entombment to follow at Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations to CNIB or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
