After a long and sometimes challenging life, our Mom Maria, the matriarch of the family, passed away at the age of 98, just shy of her 99th birthday.
Having survived the war and numerous health issues later in life, she is finally at peace and reunited with her husband, Alfeo Sabatini, her brother Aldo and her parents Davide and Angelica. She is survived by her three children Paola (Gianni), Paolo, and Mary (John). Maria was the loving Nonna to Tania (Andres), Tara, Ashlyn (Patty), Samantha (Chris), Justin (Eva), Matthew (Dianna) and Corey (Sarah) as well as 13 great grandchildren. Maria was born in San Giorgio, Marche, Italy on January 28, 1924. She immigrated to Canada with her three children in 1961 to join her husband in Port Colborne. She worked extremely hard to ensure her family had a better life and instilled in them the importance of hard work and a good education. Maria never sat idle. She loved spending her summer days tending to her vegetable garden, and her winter days knitting, crocheting and sewing, right up until her late nineties. She was very proud of her “production” and enjoyed jarring tomatoes and always ensured her grandchildren had fresh vegetables to take home with them. Anyone who visited her was well fed with her famous square soup, delicious gnocchi and definitely an Italian cookie or piece of rolled cake. Maria will always be remembered for her sharp mind and her many stories.
The family would like to thank the staff at Northland Pointe for the care they provided in her brief stay. We would also like to thank all the PSWs and nurses that assisted her while she was living at home. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Mulji, her cardiologist in Hamilton for the loving care he provided her.
The Sabatini family will receive friends at the ARMSTRONG FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL, 179 Clarence Street, Port Colborne on Thursday from 3 – 6 p.m. Vigil Prayers will be recited at the funeral home Thursday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, December 23, 2022 at St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church, 123 King Steet, Port Colborne at 10:30 a.m. with Father Wesley Woloszyn as celebrant. Entombment will follow at Pleasantview Mausoleum. If so desired, memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke or to the Canadian Cancer Society.
