Assunta Sepe
August 10, 1928 – October 3, 2021
Assunta Sepe – Born August 10th, 1928 in Campodimele, Italy to loving parents Francesca Maria
Zanella and Gabriele Grossi. Youngest of twelve siblings. Passed away peacefully surrounded by
her family on Sunday October 3rd, 2021 at the age of 93. Beloved wife of Pietro for 68 years and
paisanos since childhood. Loving mother of six children: predeceased Genesia (Almerindo),
Pasqualina (Franco), Maria (Michele), Michael (Anna), Bruno and Annita (Antonino). Cherished
grandmother to Angelina (Angelo), Anthony (Nikki), Marcella (Marco), Daniela (Mark),

Delaina and Adrian. Loving great-grandmother to Andrew, Alessia, Alia, Luca, Liam, Rian,

Sparky, McQueen, Baci, and Trevi. She will always be remembered for her homemade gnocchi,
baking cookies, her love of knitting, sewing, quick wit and sense of humour. Overcoming many
struggles, including WWII and immigrating to Canada with a language barrier and one suitcase,
she went on to be a positive presence to everyone in her life, always encouraging everyone
around her to be the best version of themselves. Her unconditional love for her family will never
be forgotten.
She will forever be in our hearts.
Ti vogliamo tanto bene assai, assai, assai!
