February 11, 2021 – Calgary, Alberta
Laura Costa of Calgary, AB, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 11, 2021 at the age of 77 years.
She was born to parents, Cosimo Minnella and Teresa Crupi in Donisi, Reggio Calabria, Italy, on November 4, 1943, and grew up with her six siblings, Maria Commisso, Antonio Minnella, Rosetta Commisso, Vito Minnella, and Rocco Minnella. Laura was a woman of strong faith and trust in God, she believed that gathering around the table was essential to her Italian heritage. Laura was a mother to many; she was always a source of hope and comfort. When there was a crisis she did not panic, and was never uncertain about what to do, she knew what was needed, and patience would prevail. She was the heart and soul of the Costa family.
She will sadly be missed by her loving children, Domenic (Sherri) Riccardo (Angela) Carol-Ann, and David (Karley); she was a proud Nonna to Adrianna, Valentino, Paloma, Luciano, Guiliana, Anthony, Fiorella and twins, Marcus and Adam. Laura was predeceased by her husband Albert, Steven Costa, and Joseph Ferraro.
