Obituary
With a heavy heart, the family of Lillian Stellini announces her passing on April 3, 2022 with family members surrounding her, at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. Lillian (nee Pace) moved to Canada (from Malta) as the young bride of Eric Stellini. They were business partners and devoted parents to three daughters and after Eric’s passing Lillian was blessed with seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She had a love of food and travel, a deep passion for her family, enchantment with family pets and an often-teased affection for glittery garments.
She leaves behind loving daughters Pam (Tony) Kim (Tim) and Maxine (Doug) her cherished grandchildren Erica (Nick), Lauren, Kyle (Bianca), Lisa (Tyler), Trevor (Jordan), Tyler (Braden) Colin and her adored great grandsons Miller and Mavis. She celebrated the addition of step-grandchildren Tara and Adam and their children to the family.
Cousins Maria and Adrian and their family share our sorrow, as do friends who were like family in Canada, and relatives and in-laws in Malta who have always been in her heart.
Lillian was strong willed, competitive (Scrabble anyone?) and socially outgoing until her health suffered. She left us with some memorable lines that will be repeated (and exaggerated) for years to come.
At the request of the family, please wear a mask when attending any of the in-person arrangements.
Visitation will be held at the Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home, 64 Lakeshore Road West, Oakville (one block East of Kerr Street) on Thursday April 7, from 4 pm – 8 pm. A private Funeral Mass will be held at St. Andrew Roman Catholic Church. Interment will be held at Holy Cross Cemetery, Thornhill.
In lieu of flower, please consider making at donation to the Oakville Hospital Foundation in Memory of Lillian.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Lillian Stellini April 25 1937 April 4 2022..
